I was notified today of Bob's passing and I was so sad to hear about what had happened. I have nothing but fond memories of him with his family especially how he was with Bobby Jr and Kelly. I always enjoyed hearing him talk about the Jets and baseball. I enjoyed throwing the ball around with him when I used to visit him in Edison, NJ. My deepest condolences to Karen , Bobby Jr and Kelly. He was a good man and he will be missed dearly. May God give you all the strength to move on from this loss, but always think of the good times with him, I know I'll never forget him. Rest In Peace Bobby.
