I miss you Bob every day, things for me have not been the same without you. Almost a year has gone by and I'm sitting here at my desk thinking about the good times we shared, working together, hunting together and just hanging out. You will always be with me and I will forever shed a tear when thinking about you.

My husband and I moved to Wolcott, Vermont last fall. One day when we were on a motorcycle ride we met a nice man outside the general store in Irasburg. It was Bob. He told us he was our neighbor and the Wolcott constable, and he welcomed us to the area. More than once, after a bad storm, he stopped by our house and asked if we needed help shoveling out. Anytime we had questions about the hunting, fishing, etc. he was there to talk to us. I liked him immediately and am so saddened to hear that he passed away. I drive by his house every day and will miss seeing him there. We'll always remember him as the first friendly face we met in Vermont. Our thoughts are with his family and friends.
