"Memories" - when i was very young i lived in the best neighborhood, had the best neighbors, friends, 2nd family - and "Bobby" was part of that family. For years & years we played, screamed, laughed, antagonized - we even had "Back to School" plays -always good times - what Bob or I performed I don't remember, I remember we were always happy and celebrated life! To Alice, Kelly, Anne, Billy, Susie, Chucky and families - my heartfelt sympathies. May our wonderful memories of Bob soften the...

I’ve been trying to find the right words to say in tribute to my big brother, Bobby. Much of it has already been said and I echo all the sentiments expressed so far.

When faced with the big “C” Bobby looked it straight in the eye and said: “ Okay – But I’m going to do this MY way.” And he did. With total resolution he fought the good fight. He never wavered and never gave up. He passed with grace and dignity with full knowledge of the love we all have for him. I will miss his smart...

My thoughts and prayers are with you in your time of grief. May your memories bring you comfort.

Auntie Alice and Kelly,

I wish I had been able to be in RI for the funeral, but I did a remembrance for him at a Wat (Buddhist temple) here in Cambodia...I know Bobby would get a kick out of that. Uncle Bobby was a great guy, so much fun to be with and a wonderful uncle. Kory and I wouldn't even exist if him and Dad hadn't been friends! I send you both my love.

Alice
this new technology gives us a way to keep the memories alive. You have been and always were the Saint in this family.I'm not sure I ever undertood how you did all you did so quietly and so gracefully - just taking care of Chuck and then Bob. We are all blessed to have you in the family. Most of this - losing Bob is not real to me just yet and I can't imagine what it is for you. But we are here and always will be.
Love you Anne
