Bob was my peewee basketball coach (the prison jaycees. He actually took time to come watch me coach a few years ago in Boothbay...He sat on the bench with me as I coached. It was truly a great moment for me as I remember my early basketball experience with Bob as my Coach.
I am so sorry for your loss. I know I will always remember him and I hope knowing how he gave me a love for basketball and how I will always remember him with fondness helps you at this time.
My deepest sympathies and RIP Coach
