Not sure what to say?

My condolences to Coach Kerrigan´s family. Although he was never my coach, his reputation at WHS was stellar and I want his family to know that

Mr. Kerrigan! May you rest in peace. I will always have fond memories of keeping score for the baseball team, and the one season you (mistakenly) trusted me with football stats. The first game of the season, it almost always snowed! Condolences to all your family and friends.

Was fortunate to see him weekly while visiting my mom. I was thrilled to have had an opportunity to chat with him about the days I was at West. Even in the last months where his decline became obvious, he´d always give that little wave with those piercing blue eyes every time I said, hey coach! His wife was the picture of unconditional love every time she visited him! So sorry for your loss, it is felt by many!

Knew his mom and Peg, prayers for the family, cousin Dona Varnavas

Breakfast around the city on FRIDAYS, Golf at Intervale CC a few brews at the 10th hole, tailgating in Durham. When BOBBY was coaching at St. A'S he was looking at a player who played for Arlington, High School he asked me to take him to their field. I said to Bob I wonder if they have new rest rooms? Nope same one when I played in late 50's bushes behind 3rd base. Bobby a good Wildcat you will be missed see you down the road. Northeastern Huskie Dave

Rest in Peace Bob

A great Coach, great coworker and mentor. Thanks for everything you did for me over the years! Rest In Peace Coach. Gary Leonard

Sorry to learn of Bob's passing. My sympathy goes out to his family.
Bob was an instrumental person and Coach for my son T.J. during his baseball playing years at West High School.
A nicer individual would be difficult to find.

My deepest sympathy to the Kerrigan and Cullen families. Bob and the Cullen family were neighbors of mine back in the early sixties. Bob was very inspirational to anyone who knew him as a "coach," and a friend. He will be missed by many people . Moe Bilodeau
