Elise,

Please accept my deepsest sympathies in this most difficult times.

I first met Bob about 40 years ago when he had his service station in Somersworth. He used to hang out with my older brother Bob.

I will always remember Bob as a peaceful man. He certainly battled the elements of life to his best. May he rest in peace.

Dear Elise:

I was so very sorry to hear about Bob. I first met Bob when he delivered to my restaurant"The Fox & Hound" in 1979. Kind of lost touch over the years but when I did see him he always welcomed me with a big hug. Heck of a guy and will be missed by many. Take care of yourself, Regards, Joyce Dumont (Cangello)
