Oh what great memories with Bob and Myrna...from the time we met handeling his radio account for the Flatley Co to an unforgettable trip staying in the Presidentia suite at a hotel in Montréal to sharing the adoption experience of our kids. Alway held the highest respect for Bob and always regretted our drifting away. My condolences to Myrna and family.

Bob was one of the first people I met on campus of Husson College. He was the Prytanis (President) at the the time of the Tau Kappa Epsilon Fratenity Colony. I soon became a Frater too because of his example. 50 years later, He and I began to to talk frequently on the phone and along with many other brothers became donors to the TKE Endowed Fund for Husson needy students. Charity towards this any many other charities he donated which in the Jewish faith is Tikkun Olam which refers to actions that aim to improve and repair the world. That was Bob, our TKE Brother.

Bob is such a nice man with a contagious smile that lit up where ever he is. We met Bob many years ago on the soccer fields of Sudbury while our daughters played and Paul was the coach. He is a dedicated father and friend to the soccer parents and kids. Thanks for the great memories. Jane and Paul Zeytoonian

Bob always wanted my wife and I to travel to Maine. Each winter he would ask, "when are you coming to Maine?" For the longest time the trip never happened. That was until this past summer, my wife, son and I got to see the place Bob loved dearly. We had dinner, talked about the summer, our new life as parents and the return to Naples. I will forever cherish this trip and all of the memories and life lessons Bob taught me.

I only got to know Bob over the last 2-3 years. We played Golf together at MCC in Marlborough. We had a lot of fun driving in the cart together. Bob was a down to earth guy and we had plenty of laughs at our own golfing expense. R.I.P Bob.
