So sorry to hear about your loss. Bobby loved his family. He had an incredible spark of charisma and confidence that I'm sure resonates in his children. He made a difference. His work made a difference. HE was a mover of men. I'm so sorry for you it is very difficult when someone is so full of life

Dear Janet, Katherine, Eleanor and Ann Marie:

We were sorry to learn of Bob's passing but are sure that he is with Leo and Mary looking down upon you all. While Bob was a dynamo who had many and significant accomplishments, both personally and professionally, what we will remember most is his kindness exemplified by his insistence on attending our sister, Alice's, funeral mass despite knowing beforehand that he would not be able to physically climb the stairs at St Margarets forcing him to wait alone in the car as Janet attended the church service alone.

God Bless.

Dear Janet, Katherine, Ellie and Mary Ann,

So sorry for your loss. My thoughts and prayers are with each of you.

Bob was one in a million. He loved life and always gave 110% to any job he committed to. He will be missed by many and I'm sure he was greeted by just as many on the other side.

Til we meet again my friend, Rest In Peace.
