Cathy, Jeff and Brian,

I was shocked to hear about Bob. We have such fond memories of our times together. They broke the mold when Bob was "invented." May God bless his soul.

There were only 2 men who were my mentors when I was a business agent for OPEIU Local 6 - one was the late and great Jim Mahoney and the other was a great teacher who I thanked God everyday that he was on our side and that was Attorney Bob Manning. Rest in peace Bob.
