Gloria and family
I am so sorry to have just heard of the passing of Bob. I have seen him a few times here and there around town and he always asked for my dad and then followed that up with a joke. He will be missed. My thoughts and prayers are with you in this difficult time.

So sorry for the Hamor family's loss. I am an old friend of Sherry's from the days of Rolling Green in Middletown. I grew up with Sherry, went to school with her, and got to know both Gloria and Bob as well. Sherry affectionately referred to Gloria and Bob as Go-Go and Bo-Bo in those days. You could just tell that Bob loved his family dearly. He had such a great sense of humor and Sherry loved to kid him. (Sherry, remember that Stop N' Shop commercial we "recorded" in honor of your Dad to the tune of Woodstock? Yes, I still have that!) You could certainly see how close the family was with one another if you spent any time around them. As a young girl, I would spend many an afternoon visiting at the Hamor house in Middletown. I have very fond memories of those days long ago, and I can still picture Bob with a smile on his face and that bright red hair as if it were just yesterday.
Again, so sorry for your loss......
