Not sure what to say?

Bob was the epitome of a naval officer and gentleman. He stood by his friends, who came from all walks of life. He was both cerebral and warm. He was a man of integrity. There is no reason to go on. If you were privileged to know him, you have your own words to praise him. RIP John Bash

I remember serving as a civilian with him in the Pentagon circa 1988. Bob was highly analytical, a deep thinker, and a real gentleman. May he rest in peace. Steven M. Grogan Commander, USNR (Retired)

It is with a very sad heart to hear of Bob's passing. My family made a wonderful connection with the Suggs family through my friendship, and being a roommate, with their son Wayne in the early 1980's.

Sad news. Bob was my husband, Ken Young's, GHS classmate and friend. They sang on Greenwich Radio Station with Neil Pultz and Barry Morley while in school. Ken often spoke of Bob and the fun they had at GHS. Ken passed away in 1991 at the age of 61 from lung cancer. My sincere condolences to you all.
