We will all truly miss a wonderful gentleman. I will always remember the George Forman, burning the rolls, all of our "field trips" and most recently teaching you the "apple." May you be at peace and in the company of all our lost loved ones. Don’t forget you owe Nana a dance!

Love you always,
Ash-ding-a-ling

Dear Billy and Bob,

Your Dad will be truly missed as is your beloved Mom as well. I have wonderful fond memories of them both as the best neighbors that I have ever had and that I will always cherish. Betty called Bob home and I know he is in a better place. He always shared great stories of his sons, grand and great-grand children and in the last year or so of his beloved wife Betty. May wonderful memories of your parents and God's love sustain you and your loved ones during this sad time.

Love in Christ,
Mercedes...

Billy,
So sorry to hear of your Dad's passing. I remember seeing him driving around up here in Nashua for many years. In case you forgot, we used to hang out in Chelmsford in the early 70's until I married and joined the Nashua Police Dept.
