Robert Emmett Skerry Jr.

I will cherish the memories of the wonderful times being your younger sister. The trips to the zoo in Stoneham, the trips to New Hampshire for summer vacations, and our vacations on Cape Cod. Time has flown by and we went our separate ways in college but we always stayed together through letters and phone calls. At Boston State were wonderful times and memories of spending time together. Having a big brother in college was a lot of fun. You were a great teacher. I always heard great things from people about you. You always had your time given to people when needed and working on your political campaign I always heard such good things about you. I enjoyed walking in your political shadows and footsteps. We lost mom too early but you were always putting dad first. When I gave birth to Jennifer you were so happy and honored and were the best uncle. After Jennifer, Robert, Melissa, Meaghan, and Christopher came next. They were so proud to have you at their parties and events. You were their big uncle and memories of you giving Christopher the matchbox cars and wrestlers made him so proud. How fast time has gone. As for your nieces and nephews, time wasn't spent as much together but they always remember their uncle Bobby. I'm glad Maria got to spend time with you because she filled a spot with Mom gone. You enjoyed long rides with her to the coast and taking day trips together. Even though my own health issues have taken some of my time, I always thought of you. I will forever be grateful for your love and caring and that you are in a better place and out of your suffering. I know you'll always be around us in spirit. Love, your Sister Marilyn

I have known Bobby since junior high school He was a great guy, So very sorry for your loss.

Sad to hear.I had Mr. Skerry for one class , way back when, and a favorite line of his was , " if your not prepared, for many of you , it´s your last hurrah "

He made a difference. RIP .
