Robert McGraw

To the McGraw clan, I am so stunned and saddened by this news. I have such great memories of you all at your home on North Pine. Please know that you are in my thoughts and prayers. Love to you all.

My condolences to Bob's entire family. As another Pine Hills neighbor and classmate at VI, I have many memories of Bob, who was just an unforgettable presence in our lives growing up. People loved his brash sense of humor and outgoing personality and he was vey popular with the guys and girls. I also remember his competitive spirit; he was a good athlete at any sport he tried.Farewell and rest in peace Bobby.

I remember fondly Bobby's great humor, and am reminded of the short poem he inscribed in our 1969 VI yearbook...suffice to say it alluded to St. Patrick's Day and McNally's Tavern...rest in peace friend, and raise a green beer to for me!

We were friends at VI and he was definitely a personality to be remembered and missed. My best wishes to his family

To Martha & Meghan, Joe, Kathy, Tom, Martha, Kevin and Mark - I just wanted you to know how deeply saddened I was by Bob's passing.

I was a friend of Bob's back at VI and although I was at VI for only 2 years I recall some good times we had together. Sorry for your loss.

Bobby was a great childhood friend. We lost contact after the first year of high school, but boy did we have a fun (almost Huckleberry Finn type) time before that! He had a compelling laugh, and was always smiling and joking--and he never used biting humor or sarcasm. As my brother Karl has added here, we used to play sports all of the time in the Pine Hills; and we played on the same Slingerlands baseball team, where he was an excellent catcher. I also fondly recall being his early adviser...

I have fond memories of a period in my childhood when Bobby and Kevin McGraw along with George Barthlemas, my brother, Greg and I played football in the McGraw's backyard almost every day. My deepest sympathy to Bob's wife and daughter and to the McGraw family.
