Bob was my brother-in-law for many years while we were all younger. We had many fun times going on vacations and weekends together. He was a very special man and lots of fun. He will be missed.

So sad to hear of Bob's passing. He and my brother Joe were best friends growing up together. We had so much fun in the old neighborhood. Bob was one of the funniest people I have ever known. My deepest sympathy goes out to his family. I'm sure he will be missed.

I can't believe this. Bobby and I spent many a good time until my wife and I bought a condo in Salem, MA in 2002. Since then, we've missed him a lot. Our deepest sympathies and condolences to his family and friends. Marc H.

So sad to hear of Bobby's passing. I only knew him from the Post Office, myself a customer, he the window clerk; he was the truest example of a gentleman, polite and responsive, even under pressure; it was always a pleasure to have him help me with posting my parcels to Ireland for many years, he took interest in my tales of my Irish cousins, we shared many laughs and smiles,I will miss him.

I am saddened to hear of Bobby's passing. We were neighbors for so many years. He was a kind man, who loved his brother and always looked out for him. I am sure John will be lost without him. He has left too soon. I am still in shock. My deepest condolences to his family.
