Dear Gullie family & friends,
We are so sad to hear of Bob's passing. We worked with him for a long time and he was always such a pleasure. He would take us to lunch once a year and tell us the best stories! He had such a great attitude, was so funny, and cared so much about the kids at the Cohoes Community Center. We were always so happy to hear from him and we will miss him terribly. -Jackie & Libby at the Community Foundation
