Bob was a dynamic force in making Glastonbury a more beautiful place to live. He and Nancy formed Glastonbury Partners in Planting with good friends Della and Roger Winans. I learned so much from him and loved to hear his stories. I´m so glad we caught up last summer as he bragged about his kids, grandkids and great grandchildren. The Town has lost an important force. Love to Nancy and family.
