I am so sorry to hear of Bob's passing. He and his lovely wife, Peg, were two of the nicest people I have ever met. They would usually stop into the Lantern Restaurant (AKA,The Lantern Pub) in Mahopac, were I was a bartender for 20 years. The stop would be for chesseburgers and a drink,(to keep them warm) before attending one of the many sports games at Mahopac High school. They were an inspiration to all who had the opportunity to witness the enduring and endless love and admiration they held for each other. Peg would tell me wonderful stories of baking cookies with her grandchildren and they were always quick with the jokes. The world is indeed a better place for having Bob TeCarr pass through it. I will always cherish my memories of their friendship. My thought and prayers are with the family at this difficult time. Please give Peg my love and good wishes.

Each spring I couldn't wait till my father took me to Tecarr's to get a new bat or glove. Always a smiling face to greet us. Sorry for your loss.
