I have many wonderful childhood memories of your sweet family. Your mom was totally gracious. Dottie was my most wonderful CCE teacher. And I just loved it when Eddie came over to my street and we played kickball or baseball. Of course, your Dad was my favorite. When he gave me Prudential pool passes, he would tell me if anyone asked, just tell them they were from my Uncle Bob. I still remember listening to he and Dad talk about the Astros, St. Benedict's and a little politics. They were such good friends. I pray they are having a cold one together right now!
Love and prayers to your dear, dear family.

It was an honor and a privilege to have been Bob's last Sales Manager during his great career at Prudential. Bob was highly respected and admired as a great agent. May God bless him and his family in this time of sorrow
