Rest in peace Bob Purnell. I cannot believe it has been one year since your passing. I will always fondly remember our last conversation in September 2015 when he was in the Keys.

We could not have had a better friend than Bob.
He and Robin and I had some great, great times together. The local trips that we took together will never be duplicated.

So glad that we were able to see him before he went home.

We were so sorry to hear of Bob's passing - he was an Alice Costello & GHS classmate & fellow Brooklawnite - our thoughts & prayers to his family

I was saddened to hear this news about Bob's passing. It sounds like things came on suddenly. Some of my Brooklawn School and Gloucester High School friends recently had met Bob over at the Riverwinds. I'd hoped one day my husband Alex and I would run into him, too. We hadn't seen him for about 10 years. I will remember Bob as the kind, smart, and unassuming man he was who I grew up with and saw off and on over the years. It was always good to see him again. May he rest in peace.

Cindy & I are so surprised & saddened by the news of Bob's passing! He and I go way back. I've known him since we were 4 years old... When he lived around the corner on New Jersey Rd. We were best childhood friends into high school. We did almost everything together growing up in the Brooklawn & Gloucester days. We lost touch for quite a while. Then in 2006 when I was visiting my mom, we rekindled our friendship. On my many visits we always got together. Bob, my wife Cindy & I always laughed...

Sincere condolences to the Purnell family on the passing of Bob. I was one of the many co-workers at the Div of Soc Serv that knew him. We were very shocked when we heard the news that he was so sick and then passed away so quickly. RIP Bob.

Fran and I were very surprised and deeply saddened by Bobs passing. It was less than one year ago that we had dinner with Bob at Riverwinds that led to his staying overnight at our house! Fran enjoyed his company very much. He will be dearly missed . Barbara and Fran Flowers.

So sorry for your loss. My deepest sympathy.
