Bob was a wonderful man that worked along side all of us at National Grid. He had a very generous soul often times talking about his family and Novia Scotia. I was saddened to learn of his passing. He was skilled at his profession and very well loved and respected by all of us My prayers go out to all of your family, Bob. Rest In Peace. From your colleague, Sharon Bjorkman

In loving memory of a wonderful person! So sorry for your loss.
Bob was a dear classmate of mine at the Weymouth schools.
We crossed paths a few years back when he came to my Mothers door to answer a service call thru the gas company. He had the same happy disposition.
He knew his business and did an incredible job. So very sad.
