My prayers to Bob and his family. Very sad to hear of his passing. Bob was Grand Knight of the St James Sussex council when I joined and I really respected his leadership. He will be missed.

I am so sorry to hear of Bob's passing. We worked many pancake breakfasts and tootsie roll drives together. He was a great guy and will be missed. I wish you comfort and peace.

My sympathy to all of Bob´s family. He is a big reason I joined the Knights of Columbus at St. James, and will always remember his great sense of humor.
