A neighbor, classmate at Manoa School and Haverford High and fellow musician in the band. Bob was a good friend. We were shocked when we heard about his accident but thanks to Chelle were able to visit with him and enjoy old times. Although Bob had serious brain injuries he was still able to name all of the students that got on our bus that took us to Manoa. Best wishes to the DeSilets family.

Loved learning about architecture and history from Bob. I remember him walking around the sad and forlorn Jersey City Terminal describing its restoration. He enjoyed his work so much!Bob asked the sculptor to stylize the faces of the restoration team into the small carvings at the arch bases...only Bob would think of that! His input was valuable in the development of the land at the Lockwood Mansion (Malvern)to give the home a buffer from the commercial land next door. And who can forget Lucy the Elephant! Our love and prayers to his whole family, especially Michelle for years of love and advocacy. Our hearts break but Bob is healed!
