I am so sorry to hear of Bob's passing. Unfortunately I was out of town and missed services for him. There was a time when I was almost an eighth child of the Legacy's. I practically lived at their home as did so many others during the 60's and 70's Bob was always accepting of me and at times I think he actually liked me although with him it was hard to tell. May God bless him and may he rest well. I also wish the entire family health and happiness.

My condolences go out to the family and friends for your recent loss. During this trying time we have pleasant memories of our loved one. Be assured that the God of all comfort has your loved one tucked away in his memory too. May he console you with the positive hope of being able to see your loved one again.

Dad, I cannot begin to tell you how much I miss you and how my heartaches that you are no longer with us. I watched you go as you began your journey to find your family on the other side, I felt you leaving us as your grasp on my hand loosened. I know in my head that you are happy now, but I selfishly still want you here with me. Save me a good spot up there Dad, I love you. Robin

I have a favorite memory of your Dad....My last year of high school I worked part time at a little diner called Jacks,,,,,One time a customer was very rude, I did not over hear his comment but your dad did, he made it a point to go over to this man and tell him the way things are around here, and they do not tolerate his rude comments to the waitress at Jacks.....The man left and never came back,,,,Thank you Mr. Legacy!!!!

Dear Legacy family, I wish to extend my condolences to you at the passing of Bob. I had the oppurtunity to work for the "Babe" on a few occasions, hanging from the back of his truck as a "G" man as we used to say. So many of us had the chance to make a few dollars for our weekend fun working for Robert Legacy & Son. I will never forget the hot coffe or chocolate at the Legacy home in the early morning as we waited for the trash crew to gather. This shall remain one of the old Westford memories I will keep with me forever, back when you knew pretty much everyone in town and life was so much simpler! I will keep you all in my prayers.
