Not sure what to say?

Uncle Bob loved life and lived a great one. I'll never forget growing up when our families got together and when we were older our conversations regarding matters of the world. He will be missed. Donald Neal, Jr. Houston, TX

My sympathy to Bob's family. I can remember clearly that he was injured while in the service during the Korean war.
I am a Winchester High School, Class of 1949 classmate.

Quick witted, kind, humble, and strong. We were neighbors in Centerville for many years and enjoyed many get-togethers and sing-a-longs. His Irish wit won every time.
We would meet at the firehouse in Winchester and then go over to Winchester H. S. to watch his son Sean pitch for the varsity team.

At the firehouse I watched Bob instruct the young firemen and how he inspired them about the challenges facing them and to go forward with vigor, optimism and enthusiasm.

Sorry to hear that an old friend of 60 years ago is gone. We had some good times together then in the Winchester High School class of 1949.
