Bob was a treasured member of the Kensington Lions Club since 1973. He worked on the annual All-Star Football Classic games when they began in 1976, as well as many other community events benefitting the less fortunate. In 2010, Lion Bob was the recipient of the Melvin Jones Award - the highest honor in Lionism. We recall fondly his smile and infectious laughter at our meetings, and his commitment to the Western New York community.

This sweet man used to hug me and say hello me every time I dropped off his clean laundry to his room at garden gate. He used to always have a conversation with me and give me the biggest smile. God bless you Robert, I´ll always cherish our talks. ~Marie
