I remember Bobby as a terrific athlete during my junior hight school years in Westerly. He was, at a young age, a leader and a very nice person. Rick Tuttle. Culver City, California.

My sympathy to Bob's family. We were in the same high school class, WHS 1956. My memories of him are as a friendly guy, a classy dresser, and a scrappy basketball player.

I have fond memories of Bob as a child as I used to be friends with his brother Art. He was always kind to me. He turned me on to all those great modern jazz records from the Providence College dorms that later became one of my passions in life. He also had a fine sense of humor.

I was in Westerly last week and we talked about Bob at a lunch arranged by Barbara Fallon. We remembered Bob as one of our star basketball players. Good times with good friends. My sincere sympathy goes out to Bob's family. Jean (Taylor) Browning
