Bob was a friend and fellow electrician . We first met working for Hampton Electric back in 1979. We lost track of each other and he will be missed. I can remember the annual party he use to have. R. I. P. Brother Bob

Bob was our beloved friend and I knew him for 45 years, starting when we were neighbors. We had many a laugh, and quite a few hours working on player pianos. This is a deep loss, but with Bob's kind heart, I know he is welcomed in peace now and will be waiting to greet us when we step to the other side. Thoughts and prayers for his family.
