Sue and family, I don't know how to express my feelings for Bob. He recruited me from the Cranford First Aid Squad to enroll into the UMDNJ paramedic program 1980. Prior to this, I was in the dental field. In effect, he changed my life for the better. I embarked on an exciting career and I am still working in emergency medicine. He was my boss and my friend. Recently, Lathey, Bob, and I met for lunch. Nothing had changed; We laughed and talked about the old volunteer days as if it was yesterday. I loved Bob and respected him so much. I am going to miss him.

My condolences to Sue, Gary and the rest of the family on the passing of Rob. I first met Rob when he was a fifth grader. His parents were always so proud of his achievements in school and in his very successful career. He and his family were always present at our family parties, and we attended many of their summer picnics a nd holiday get-together. He will be missed by all the Lonergans.
With sincerest sympathy, Joan Lonergan

Sincere condolences to Sue, Gary and the rest of the family of Rob. All the Lonergans will miss seeing him at family gatherings. He was in fifth grade when I first met him, a bright ten year old whose parents were very proud of his achievements in school, and later in his extremely successful career. My prayers go out for the repose of his soul as he joins his parents in Heaven. Joan Lonergan
