Robert Melander

We had great times with Bobby and him with us at Central and Occasional stops at South Division.He was as much a part of the WFD as anyone and will be missed. And he was one of the best Deputies we had on the job. Rest In Peace my friend.

Bobby was a significant figure in Quinsigamond Village as anyone. Whether it was building the bonfires at Greenwood Park or riding his bike through the village on his way to the fire station.A hard worker ;noting shoveling and clearing the snow at St. Catherine of Sweden, helping Father Reilly in any way he could.
God bless Bobby Suds

Grace , Jimmy , Mike , John & Family,

I was sorry to hear of the passing of Muck, I will always have great memories of him that make me laugh everytime.
May the roads rise up to meet you,
May the wind be always at his back,
May the sun shine warm upon his face,
May the rains fall soft upon his fields
And until we meet again ( and we will )
May God hold him in the palm of his hands.

Bobby I was saddened to hear of your passing. We had many different experiences over the past 60 plus years or so. My first meeting, as a young teen, was watching Bob respond on his BIKE with Hose 9 (Eng. 15) in Quinsig Village. Bob was usually at St Catherine of Sweden when I was an alter boy with Jim Scales. Fr Joe Marcot would keep an eye on him. I'm sure Fr Joe will give him a great tribute. Bob was part of the WFD family. From Hose 9, to McKeon Rd, to Central Division, to...

Bobby , we had a lot of real funny days when you spent time with us at Engine 15 Millbury St station. Godspeed my friend, Roger

I have so many great memories of MUCK at Central St Firestation.
Always smiling, always joking!
My deepest sympathy to his family.
May you have comfort in knowing that he had many friends that loved him.

May God's blessings be upon Bob, and may all who know him cherish the memories of his presence in their lives. Bob was a regular at South Division and a big part of the Fire Department's extended family.
