I worked with Bob for many years at Kemper, and worked with Bob in Quincy, Syracuse and Long Grove, we traveled together. Bob was a great friend, and the word that comes most to my mind when I think of him is loyalty. Bob believed in; and lived loyalty, to his family, his friends, employer, church, Babe Ruth... Julie and I will miss Bob and our sympathy goes out to his family. Bob, safe travels my friend

I am so lucky to have known Bob for the past 29 years. I was one of the fortunate ones to have worked for him at Kemper and out of that developed a great friendship. He gave me the opportunity of a lifetime and always had faith in me. I will think of him often and smile because I have so many fun memories of him. Boy did he enjoy a good joke!
Bob, may you rest in peace.
All my love, Donna.

All my sincerest sympathies to his family. I worked for Bob in Boston for 11 years. He was one of my most cherished and valuable mentors.
He will be in my thoughts and prayers for the rest of my days.

Dear Bob, you are a very special friend and I miss you already. You were a huge influence in my life. When you hired me at age 17 I had no idea you would teach me so much. You taught, guided and challenged me to acheive great goals both professionally and personally. Because of you I have had wonderful opportunities. But most of all, I cherished our friendship. For 35 years we shared many wonderful times and helped each other through the tough times. You were always there for me. Thanks!! You will live in my heart forever. Your friend always, Love, Mag

Bob is in my prayers for a safe harbor and a holy rest.
We were associated for many years at 260 Tremont St. in Boston and later at our office in Quincy.
In busincss--an admirable work ethic-in personal relationships--good humor and always respectful of others--his love of family was palpable and his love of baseball seems to have been his second love.
I consider myself fortunate to have been his friend.
My wife and I extend our sympathies to his family for whom he cared so much.

I worked for Bob at Kemper Isurance during the summers of my college years. He was a great person to work for and always had a smile on his face and a helping hand extended. He will be surely missed.

I will forever miss the many laughs, the drinks and cigars by the pool, and the imparted wisdoms. To the best coach and mentor a person could have, and most of all to a good friend. We will miss you dearly.

To Bob's family: Please accept my sympathy for your loss. My father Pat Foley was Bobby's first cousin and he loved him dearly and was very proud of his work for Babe Ruth.

I worked with Bob for several years at Kemper. I enjoyed the passion and energy he brought to our company. He loved Kemper, valued the people he worked with and was a wonderful person to be around. I always felt good after any discussion I had with Bob given his command of the issues and the intensity he brought to important issues we faced. My sincere sympathies to his family. May God bless him and all his family and friends

I worked for Bob at Kemper Insurance in Boston then Quincy 1969-1971. I have fond memories of him and still think of him after all these years. He was always a kind man and I know he will be missed.

The glory of friendship is not the outstretched hand, nor the kindly smile, nor the joy of companionship; it is the spiritual inspiration that comes to one when you discover that someone else believes in you and is willing to trust you with a friendship.
There is so much I will miss .....but there is so much more that I will remember!!!
Thank you for everything.
