It has been a hard week for all of you. I share in your pain, though know yours is much greater. I have been watching the family rally over the last few days and it is a sight to behold. The strength and love of two teens blossomed into an amazingly close and strong family. Bob, you done good here. The family's love and memories of you will help to carry them through this tough time. May you rest in peace knowing they are together, as strong and loving as ever, and that the extended family and friends will be there for all of them. I love you Bob - you will be missed.

Dear Chris and children, I was saddened when I read of Bob's passing. Please know that we are praying for your family, and that the coming days may be difficult, but the Lord will be there with you.

I knew Bob for almost ten years now, mostly on a professional basis, but the part of his obituary that states he was the best dad anyone could ask for is of no surprise. Bob was always pulling for his employees and trying to do the best he could for them. It was obvious that he had one family at home & also another one when he arrived at work. I will miss Bob & so will a whole bunch of other people. To Bob's family, I am so sorry for your loss. I hope that all of your memories of Bob are happy ones & that they never fade away.

I remember Bob as a classmate I knew from Sarah D. Ottiwell School, Normandin Jr High and NewBedford High School. He lived across the street from the old Riverside Playground on Coffin Ave. He had lots of friends. To his family, I offer my deepest sympathy and God's Peace.
