He lived on Glenwood road. He taught me how to drive and took me to the registry of motor vehicles in his Chevrolet wagon. Bob rest in peace. Amen.

I worked with Bob for the city doing the barrels back in the mid 1970´s. Bob was a friendly and gentle soul, although he always wanted to show me how strong he was. In our later years I would run into him down Lynn Beach and always stop and have a chat. Bob was a funny guy and a good man. Sorry for his departure. RIP Bobby!

I had the distinct pleasure of working with Bob at the Stop & Shop on Boston St. in Lynn during the late 80's for a few years. What a kind and gentle man. I hadn't thought of him in quite a while and hearing that he lived a long life brought a smile to my face. With my sincerest condolences, Thomas Skouras
