I worked with Bob in Corporate Communications in the early `80´s. Bob always had a smile and loved talking about his family. Bob always made us laugh and was a great coworker. Condolences to his family.

I worked with Bob at SNET for many years. He was the sweetest, always positive friend. I have fond memories of him building our sons swing set for us. Both my husband and I send our thoughts and prayers to his family at this difficult time. Rest In Peace Bob
