My sympathy to all of Bob's family. I worked with him many years ago, and he was a wonderful nice man. I am sure his family will miss him. Also, did not realize that Jean Markey and Betty Baney were his sisters, they too were old friends. May he rest in Peace. Cheryl Bobay Bailey

I happened to see this. My thoughts and prayers for you and family at this time. I lost mom, Freida, September 5, 2018, Dad in 2008. Is a tough time. As with my parents, your dad lived a wonderful long life and you were blessed to have him so long. Prayers for Gods healing and strength.
