A Tribute to a Fallen Brother. Bob and I met over 40 yrs ago when I was doing framing and he was building a plastics business in his basement shop in Dedham. We hit it off right away and II continued to work for the Company thru Clear Vu CMP then Clear VU over the next 25yrs. He was dealing with significant Health issues constantly and worked through it. He set a GREAT work ethic for ALL Employees. No hands in your pockets AK. He brought Van loads of Veterans from group homes in Recovery to our location and paid them well. We kept growing from the theater business to Supermarket then POP displays for Swarovski and Macys. We bought a CNC Router from KOMO which was the last manufacturer operating in the USA !!!! It was his pet project for many yrs. He kept busy while still fighting the illnesses.
He HELPED more people than we will ever know and was a Strong advocate for Animals and wildlife in general. He even saved the baby turtles as they hatched in Norfolk.
He will be sorely missed in countless lives.
God Granted Him Peace.
I Love You Brother Bob.

Oh Bob...you were one of a kind and a wonderful, caring friend. I'll miss your contagious laugh and all the great times we had so very long ago. RIP

The smile, the laugh, the friendship, his loyalty and he kept his word, to me at least. His talent was second to none. When he saw you, he made you feel as though you had a bond. Keep hammering away my friend. You were a good one.
