So sorry to hear this- we had many great times at Umass on Second Short as we called it. He had that Orange Trans Am as I remember. Great guy- way too young.

Bob always had a funny joke or story to tell you that would surely make you laugh. Bob was loved by many and will be dearly missed. Rest in Heavenly Peace, Bobby.

Dear Maddie, Ben and Patty,
We are so sorry to hear of Bob´s passing. What wonderful friendships and fun when we had when you lived in Portsmouth and Bob continued to help keep those friendships going as limo driver meeting on Route 1. I think he was nicknamed Jeeves. Love to all of you,

Katie, John, Dana and Kara Magane
