To our friends and "AMS" Family:

We were very sincely moved and comforted by all your well wishes in our family sorrow.

"AMS" Family - You are very special

and I'm glad Bob had so much enjoyment with all of you. Just wanted to let you know that not to long ago Bob was playing "horse shoes" at his brother Mike's summer party. While he was heavy into the game he yelled to me - Hey Mom - bring me a cold one! I loved all your stories - Wedding, baseball, fishing, etc, etc, We, his family will miss him so much.

Sincerely

Ken, Audrey, Tom, Mickey, and Linda

Bob and I were best friends and knew each other since we were in grade school. We dated the same girls, got into trouble together, were in each others weddings,grew up together and worked together. I will always have all of the memories of my best friend, too many to share here. When I got Bob a job a AMS / Savage I never knew that he would excel so quickly and be the great employee that he was. I did know that his caring and generosity and friendly nature would endear him to all that had contact with him.

Seeing my friend lying in the hosiptal dying brought a flood of emotions that I'm still sorting through. I will also wonder why somone so good left us so soon.

I knew Bob very well and can only imagine that his personality traits played a role in the decisions that he made it life. Bob was a caring, stuborn, proud man who wouldn't want anyone to know of his problems. He choose always choose to look out for others and disregarded his own issues because he didn't want anyone else to judge him for his own problems.

Now that Bob is gone I wonder if he knew how many people's lives he touched. If he knew that he would be missed by so many. And how is loss has affected us all.

I believe that Bob has given us a final lession in life unbeknowst to him.

We are are put on this earth to live our lives and have a positive impact on others we come in contact with. We all have families and make friends that we care about and they about us. We should never loose sight of this and in times of need, these, the people close to us should be who we turn to in our time of need. No guilt, not caring about how we'll be judged by them. Friends and Familes can overcome the darkest days of our lives and we should never forget that. Thank you Bob for pointing this out.

I'm glad Bob got to see the Red Sox Win the World Series, I glad I got to know him. The fishing derby will go on. I will never get the chance to beat you in golf. We were the best set back partners ever. Ski Man will always remember you Bob. You will be in my heart forever.

A Monday Nighter has Passed.

The sun is shining down on the green grass of Fisher Meadows, but the future is cloudy for the AMS Savage Raters. Down by a run, bottom of the ninth with two out, Booming Bob Nettelbladt strides to the plate to pinch hit. Packed with power, Bob always swings for the fences making him a team favorite, and today will be no exception. The pitch is up and Bob hits it high and long! Any other day, that ball might be outta here, but not today...it's caught on the warning track, game over. But for the Savage Raters, the loss is taken in stride...after all, winning is a big deal, but more important is the chance to play the game, to get out there and take chances, do you best, and hope for the victory. Win or lose, the teams gather for high fives at the plate..."good game", "nice game", "nice hit number 6", "good game"...and then it's off the field and on with life.

From where we sit in the dugout at field level, it's hard to get a clear perspective. You can see your players out there, but you can't see their expressions or notice that slight limp in their gait. The Big Coach in the Sky-Box can see it all though, and He knows when to stretch that hit to a double and when a player's had enough...when it's time to call in the relief. Bob played the game. He played for fun, but he played hard and he played to win. Today there would be no winner, but we can rest assured that as he always did for us, Bob gave it his all and this one time he just came up a little short. There will be better days ahead for sure, when the warm summer winds blow across the rich turf of Fisher Meadows, and the modern-day gladiators take the field to do battle once again. Tomorrow there will be more games, more heroes, but for today, it's enough for us to say... Good game, Bob....good game.

My deepest sympathy to Bob's family, girlfriend and dearest friends. Through the 7 years at Savage / AMS is how I knew Bob. I will always remember him with his flush cheeks, that seemed to get more red when he laughed, his parachute pants, and novelty tees and sneakers. Always smiling, always pleasant. That's the way we all will remember him.

I've worked with Bob for almost 11 yrs. of my Savage/AMS life. I must say, Bob was a wonderful addition to our family as he must have been to yours and I was deeply saddened to hear of his passing. I will always remember Bob as a Funny,Heart Felt man who always had time to say hello as he passed by. My fondest memory of Bob was when we all went with John Roper on our Savage/AMS canoeing trip down the Farmington River: where you guess who and Don Walanoski jump board and tipped every conoe over except the one I was in. To the Nettlbladt Family/Girlfriend/Patty/Close friends/friends....I am deeply sorry for the loss of such a wonderful man to has touched us all in so many ways! But rmemeber Bob will always be with us in heart and soul and our fondest memories will help us keep him close.

Having worked with Bob for five years at AMS, it was always a pleasure talking with him. He always had a smile, was always accomodating, etc. I remember him standing up a couple of rows away in the middle of a RockCats came and introducing Patty and it makes me smile to this day. My sympathies to his family and to Patty. Bob will be missed, his memory will always bring a smile....

I know everyone is stunned by the loss of Bob. I've known Bob for almost 20 years now. I attended his wedding, he was in my wedding, and we had spent a lot of time together outside of work. I don't recall ever seeing Bob angry. He was always smiling and he was fun to be with. He was very easy to talk to and was the kind of person who would do anything for you if he possibly could. I am really going to miss him and I am so glad that while he was here I had the good fortune to know him and to consider him my friend. My sincerest condolences to The Nettelbladt family and to Patty. I am very sorry for what is such a terrible loss. My thoughts and prayers are with you all and with Bob.
