Bob is a long time friend of mine from working together at New England Telephone in the 70's at the Progress Avenue garage in Chelmsford up to his retirement. We shared a many great memories and stories together of the many repair jobs with co-workers we worked together on when we got together at the Retiree Luncheons. I will surely miss those conversations with him.
Bob was and will always be remembered as a gentleman and my friend. ........ RIP BOB i hope you got a little on the hip for your journey.

I met Bob at my uncles diner "Trailer Lunch" He would come in for a hot dog and shoot the breeze with whomever was In there before or after his shift at the phone company. A true gentleman, funny and kind.
I then met up with him again in later years @SBPC where his humor and gentle way was much appreciated.
God speed my friend, rest in peace, I hope the butler forwards all calls
