I would like to extend our deepest sympathy to the family of Bob Cady. If ever there was a gentleman that walked in our midst it was embodied by this man! I came to know Bob through the firehouse and then when working with him for many, many years at Albany Ladder. He had a work ethic like no other. Bob was quiet, gentle but stern and vocal when he needed to get his point across. I was fortunate to buy one of Bob's cars after he was done with it. Every two or three years he traded them in. They were in showroom condition and I had the pleasure of driving a 1968 white Chrysler New Yorker around Colonie like a king. Bob was an immaculate dresser as well. Whether it was wearing his Albany Ladder uniform or on Saturday mornings with Nelson Corey in his fire inspector garb. Not a hair out of place and dressed to the nines to start the day inspecting the local Colonie Village businesses. Many of those businesses have Bob to thank for keeping them safe. We always thought Bob would be a confirmed bachelor all his life. But Bob had other ideas and meet the woman of his dreams, much to the dismay of his firehouse buddy Dave Elston. Now Bob played a different role as a husband, father and grandfather which, by all accounts, he did seamlessly. He fit the role like a glove.
Bob didn't crave or need attention he went about his business in a quiet and dignified manner. He left an indelible imprint on all that had the pleasure of his company. I am sorry I had lost touch which such a fine person and regret not connecting sooner. RN Cady rest in peace. The world is a much sadder place now, but you are with Mary Ann, your love.
