A Word of comfort to your family:
"Oh God Our Help In Ages Past. Our Everlasting Hope to Come!"
Long ago, Bob I first came to know him at the Niantic Fire Department & later at the Naval Underwater System Center Fire Department. I was a part-timer there in 1972-3. Please know that from my memory of him, he was a fine example to me and most of all, a friend. God Bless you all. Cortland G. Bryant
