So sorry to hear of Bobbys passing, I just found out. He was a good friend of my brother Peter and came to comfort us all at my brothers passing. I met him at the south station window one day. He was a kind and caring person, he will be missed.

Dear Leslie, Eric and Jeffrey:
Our deepest sympathy for your loss.I had the pleasure of speaking with Robert at South Station many times before my retirement several years ago. We talked Brookline, the ""good old days"" at what was then called Tech Field and sports of course. We are so sorry to hear of Bob's passing. He truly was a great man,a great asset to the MBTA.I always went to Bob's far right window when I was ready to purchase my tickets.Bob will be missed by us all and may your many wonderful memories of him comfort you all and stay with you forever. God Bless you all in this very trying time.

My deepest sympathy to the family for your loss. Bobby was a special friend . He always came to visit when I was home. We had many laughs together over the high school years and after. I will always remember him being so willing to change Craigs diaper when he was a baby. He was a great Dad, husband and son and will be missed by all.

Bobby was our son's baseball coach for a number of years. He was a great coach - always fun and always fair. Just a nice guy. So sorry for your loss.

Hi Leslie,
I am so sorry to hear the news about Bobby. He was a great guy and we had a certain bond going back to when we first met during the Connie Mack days. I hope that there is some comfort in knowing that he is no longer suffering and at rest. He will be missed.

To the Waldo family,

I met Mr. Waldo at South Station..... I went to his window to buy my Commuter T Pass each month. He was such a nice guy - warm and friendly... definitely a real gentleman. I still go to his window... and will fondly remember as one of the nicest people you could come across at South Station at 7:00 AM in the morning. God rest his soul and condolences to his family.
