Bob was the best of neighbors to my Mom and Dad, Barbara and Ted Blow, and a wonderful friend to me and my family. The world has lost a free-thinking, honest man, who never failed to see the humor in any situation. I am grateful to him for his kindness to my parents, and honored to have known him. My deepest sympathies to Jean, Paul, and Sarah. He was a good man.

Hop was such a great person! I work at Davita Dialysis and I loved talking to him about everything from how the machines work to the Uconn Huskies while he was getting his treatment! I will miss him very much :(
