Patti



We left Walpole 8 years ago, but come to my office right now, and I have a picture of “The Team” with Bob, Sharon, and Peter, along with Tiffany and all the girls with their trophies, hanging on my office wall. Remember those trips? Off to show the BAYS soccer world what we had? Bob was often out direction finder. Sweated the details of play, the BBQ’s, the times off to the various tournaments---remember pitching the “mobile locker-room” tent so the girls could change uniforms? Bob with his stack of papers, keeping stats. Somewhere I think I kept a letter he sent me after we left, telling me he took a head coaching job for Gregory’s soccer team. We may have left Walpole physically, but that picture keeps those times fresh in my heart; where the Traver’s will always be…..

I only knew Bob from work and never met him in person. He was a pleasure to work for and a genuinely nice man. My thoughts and prayers go out to his family.

I have only known Bob in a business relationship via telephone and e-mail. Bob had integrity. I will miss him.

I was fortunate enough to have Mr. Travers as a coach for basketball. He tought me lessons that will stick with me forever and he was a great man.

Patti, Tiffany & Gregory,

A few things that we remembered about Bob were...When he coached the Girls basketball team, he was always so calm, when most coaches would be screaming.

Letting the OM team take over his basement for months at a time.

Also, looking for his truck so we could join him for the 4th of July Celebration.

Seeing the smile on his face whenever his children were around.

And seeing the Sparkle in his eyes when his Wonderful Wife was at his side.

Patti, Tiffany and Gregory you are so lucky to have so many wonderful and beautiful memories of Bob.

Bob Travers
