I just wanted to say it was great growing up across the street from the Schwartz family. I have many great memories of shooting hoops or playing baseball in front of all the homes and Bob and Bobby engaging me and our friends/neighbors in play and conversation about sports. Life long memories to this day. Great times. Great neighbor.. My thoughts are with you all.

Sorry to hear about your dad. I remember the old babysitting days with you and Essie, and going to the baseball games. Your father was a wonderful person who was very well liked in Easthamptonand will be remembered by those who knew him and he was so proud of his children.
