Bobby -

I didn't have the opportunity growing up to get to know many of my older cousins, but I always looked forward to your visits when we were visiting Grandma Allie and Mary... or popping in down at the firehouse to say hi.

I'll always carry with me warm, wonderful memories of you. You were always a genuinely caring, thoughtful, all-round good guy. You'll be missed by all whose lives you touched.

Bobby,
You will be missed by your family and friends. When Jim and I visited his mom and Mary, you always came over to see us. You are at peace now and hope you and Jim can have a few laughs together.

Bob,
You were such a nice, nice person and a great friend to my Dad, Jack Browne. You will be sorely missed, especially by him. The two of you were very lucky to have over 35 years of friendship. Peace be with you.

Mr. Carroll,
Sir, I would like to say thank you for your years of dedicated service and sacrifice-first for our Country when you served in the U.S. Army during the Korean War and secondly for the citizens of Cambridge when you served with the CFD. And to your family and loved ones, I wish to extend my deepest sympathy.
