Susy and Doug,
Many memories from our days on Far Over Farm. I do remember when I was 3-4 yrs old sitting on the stonewall that ran along the driveway and Bob coming along and dropping a garter snake down my dress that he had just plucked from the stonewall. Not funny Bob, but a memory I'll always have. Rest in peace, cousin, love, Cindy

Peggy and Family,
In the 70´s and 80´s, I was lucky enough to know Bob through the DRA. Bob was in charge of our state vehicles so we had many chances to talk at his "ground floor office" at 61 South Spring Street. He and Peggy became good friends with Barb & me. As time went on, Bob & John Durr were instrumental in my becoming a Mason. Who knew that this warm, funny, humble man would go into become New Hampshire´s Grand Master, and such a magnificent friend! Skip Cutting

Sad to hear about the passing of your Dad. My kids always got a kick out of Bob driving by our home on "Hatfield Road " in his antique car and honking that familiar sound. I also enjoyed our chats whenever I would see him outside his home.
A truly nice man. He will be missed.

Peggy and family;

I was shocked and saddened to have learned of Bob´s passing. He was a true gentleman who I enjoyed spending time with at many Masonic functions in the past. Most particularly, however, is the time spent with him during the inaugural stages of bringing the DARE program to the school children of New Hampshire. He was the impetus of arranging the continued financial support of NH Masons for the DARE program and his personal involvement in it should not go unrecognized. His warm smile, dry sense of humor and sincere love of his family, friends and Masonic brethren will be sorely missed. It is my fervent hope that the many fond memories you have of him will help to ease your sorrow during this difficult time.
