Not sure what to say?

It was a pleasure to dance with Bob at Megan's classes; he radiated joie de vivre and special sense of humor. Though he didn't know it, I will always think of him, by way of Megan, when I tell my son and grandkids what she told me he always said to her. "I'm so glad you are my . . . . " I am glad to know more of Bob from the marvelous picture and obituary. Rest in peace, Bob; heal in peace, Megan and Elaine.

Am so sorry to hear of your loss. I knew Bob through his daughter, Megan, who had been a neighbor & found him to be very witty & full of fun. I also danced with him once at an event in my former cohousing community. I could really see that Megan took after her dad. I also remember when he came to our Move & Groove class taught by her this past year.

As neighbors on Devonshire Rd with a daughter the same age as Megan, we always enjoyed Bobs sense of humor! He will be missed.

Bob was a treasure in our community, especially in sharing events like our third Friday Chavurah with the Jewish Cultural Society. His hugs and his piano playing were gifts. We will miss him. Love to you, Elaine, and to your family.

I'm in California but a friend alerted me to Bob's death. I'm sorry to lose this unique neighbor. I thought the obituary captured him nicely, as I knew him, his sense of fun and playfulness. I will miss seeing him on Devonshire.

Dear Megan and Elaine. We send good thoughts to you all at this difficult time. Bob was so fun and a real unique character. We fondly recall when we were neighbors on Henry street.

I only met Bob one time. He came to Megan's Move and Groove class at the Y. He danced along with all of us!! So sorry for his passing. May his memory be for a blessing.

Elaine, my sincere condolences to you and your family. I always enjoyed spending time with Bob at The JCC. I will keep you in my thoughts.

elaine, I am so sad to read of your fun husband's departure from your life and the dance floor. thinking of you and sending my condolences.
