Not sure what to say?

I had the pleasure of working with Bobby from June 2024- September 2025. I´m definitely going to miss his smile and his laugh. He showed me that life is short and to go with the flow even when things may not go your way. He also taught me to not take things so seriously cause then your mind will hold on to the negatives and not look for the positives. Even when Bobby had rough days, he always had a smile on his face. I´m going to miss you Bobby. I will never forget you.

Condolences to the Rocco family.

So sorry to hear about the passing of Bobby. We met him when we moved into the neighborhood by his parents, Ben and Ginny. Bobby liked to come over and talk with us in the warmer months while we worked outside. And I would occasionally see him in town hall when I stopped in for work. He always had a smile to share with everyone. My condolences to Jim, Tom and their families.

I worked with Bobby for a few years! His enthusiasm to trains and his well mannered spirit I will forever hold in my heart! God speed Bobby may you be traveling the train of life! Love evelyn

I have known Bobby since I was a young man, I help with my dad and your dad Ben at the state school build picnic table for the residents there. I also knew him at the fire station as he came most days to pick up the town hall mail. He was loved by all. I used to call him the mayor when I saw him and he just smiled. Sorry for your loss Jim and Tom. Rob Adair

May your hearts soon be filled with wonderful memories of joyful times together as you celebrate a life well lived.
