Dan and Alan, I just heard the sad news. My heart goes out to you and your families on the loss of Bob. A kind and caring neighbor and friend for over forty years, he was truly one of a kind. We cherish the memories from our younger days with Mom and Dad, Bob and Josie, and our families growing up on Bryant St. He was a savvy businessman and engaging storyteller with an outsized personality and a big heart. My dad considered Bob his best friend, and he was always there for my mom after my dad passed away. I saw him frequently when my mom was sick, and he was incredibly proud of the many accomplishments of his sons, daughters in law, and 4 brilliant and talented grandchildren. I loved your dad a lot and and I´m very sorry for your loss. He will be missed!
