I knew Bob and Leslie through square and contra dancing, and I always enjoyed seeing him (and Leslie in earlier times) and dancing with him at dances. The last time I saw him was at a Cape Ann dance in Gloucester before the pandemic. As usual, he had brought flyers for other dances. I appreciated his doing that, and I admired him for continuing to dance, even after Leslie died. I learned a lot about him by reading his obituary, and I was sorry to miss the calling hours and funeral service. I wish his family peace and comfort.

I have fond memories of your Mom and Dad at home where we had so much fun playing and also of them contra/square dancing and being involved at NEFF. Your Dad was more of an outdoorsman than I was aware. Quite accomplished! Our deepest sympathy on your loss of a wonderful man. Heather & George Ciampo

Bob& Leslie were intregal parts of Roaring Jelly! Leslie as President for many years and Bob as one of our Chief supporters and promoters by disseminating flyer to our dances and letting us know of other Public Dances! Bob roomed with Jan and I at NEFFA and we found him to be a wealth of information. He would keep us engaged until the wee hours of the morning. He was a dancer always in demand by the ladies and our Traditional New England Square & Contra Dancing kept Bob moving and happy. I will miss him, Andrew Riffin
