Bob Jr, now Bob Sr.,
Bob, I was in your dad's office selling advertising specialties in 1961 when your Dad said to me "Why don't you come to White Way in sales. We will see if you like it here, and we will see if we like you." Your Dad was the BEST salesman at White Way! He was respected and loved by all who came in contact with him.
So sorry for your loss; love to the family
Marvin Greenberg.

Bob,
I just learned of your Dad's passing, my deepest sympathy.He was one of the kindest, finest gentleman that I have had the pleasure to know. My wife and I last saw Bob at St Francis Church in November. I'm certain he's playing a round or two with my father right now.

We are saddened to learn of Bob,Sr's passing. Had we not moved permanently to Naples last year, we would certainly have attended the funeral and given our respects to the Flannery family in person. As Bob's next door neighbors at the lake for 17 years, we have many fond times to remember him by. He was a wonderful friend.
