I'll always remember the good times we had in Wildwood, at "The Glue", and wherever we and The Gang ended up. Boon you were always full of life and a lot of fun to be around, "Johnny Festoon"!! A sense of humor that never seemed to stop, and much to the chagrin of some folks, but it was fun. We"ll all miss you but won't forget the good times.

Bob, I miss you. You were a huge part of my life, since I graduated highschool and became your secretary here at CTL. You introduced me to my husband. You danced with me at our wedding. You made crazy/funny/corny jokes almost every day. I have so many good memories of you and I will cherish them forever. Love and miss you always.

I still remember the first time I met Bob. 5th grade Governor Wolf. I was impressed with his quick wit and intelligence. We became friends for many years after that. I must admit a smile came over my face a few times over the last days recalling the many good times we had, to many to mention.

Rest In Peace-
