It will be 8 years very soon. Not a day goes by that I don’t think about you and miss you. I pray for you every night. I will never forget my big brother and what a wonderful person you were. There’s a hole in my heart. I will see you again some day after this life.

Hello Betty,
I went to college with Bob and thought the world of him and his friends. I came by one time at your apartment and got to meet you, the girl of his dreams.
I was in a band called the Lemon Sandwich and Bob was giving me singing lessons.
I got in town and quickly came to your wedding, I had nothing to wear but a friends red jacket. (Check your wedding pictures .. that's me)
I met your lovely sister later that week.
Bob was a rock star and so is his family. He is in our heart for eternity.
With a heavy heart. Walt Hileman

Bobby was a terrific brother and friend. I have so many memories going back to our childhood together. I will miss him. I never thought he would be gone at such a young age. Our entire family mourns his passing. He was a center point in this family. He didnt ask for much from any of us and he was a gentle soul. We will see you again, our brother.

Dear Betty,
I'm not sure if you remember me. I have such wonderful memories of Bobby. He loved to sing and play in bands(The Merrymen)-remember then? He loved you at first sight; and told Frank Acacello "I'm going to marry that girl." I often wonder if they remained close friends.
Bobby had a big heart; and his smile would light up a room. I, and my husband, Ted, both send our sincere condolences to you and your family. We will be praying for you. Grieving is a hard and sad process. We are so sorry for your loss.
Sincerely,
Ginny and Ted
(If, by any chance, you know how to get in touch with Frank, please pass my email and phone number on to him.)

Jesse, Jackie, Valerie, Betty and family - my deepest sympathy on the loss of Bobby. He was a great friend of the family. I've got so many good memories of your whole family and I think of them often. I hope that you are able to cling to lots of good memories to help you through this difficult time.

Spent a lot of time at VCNJ both as a contract employee and for a while on staff. Everyone there played a big part in my life during those years. Bob Schaffner and I didn't always agree on every little thing, but overall I think we had a good working relationship and friendship too. RIP.
