Robert Frances Wollaston

Although it has been several years since Bobby has been with us, I still think of him as I drive around Sunset Road and remember him riding his old bike around talking to those he met. He was was so proud of his garden of flowers and vegetables and often shared some to those who visited him. The neighborhood isn't the same without him.

Although I have moved from the area where I had a very nice relationship with Bobby and his family, I still remember the visits we had back and forth, the sharing of birthdays with neighbors, receiving gifts of produce from his backyard garden, and waving as he rode past my house on his bicycle. He's one man we can never forget!

Mr. Wollaston was my landlord for about a year and what a gregarious, warm, and charming man. He always had a story or a joke and responded well to my constant teasing about how I was sure to be late with my rent the following month (he knew I never was). A great man who cared about his home, his family, and his community. I will always have warm thoughts. Godspeed Sir...

Dear Family,

I was saddened to learn of the loss of your dear Bob. He was the last of the legends and represented a true spirit with courage and compassion. It was a pleasure to share in his care over the years. I only hope the wonderful memories will comfort you during this period of loss. With sincere sympathy.

I had the great honor of getting to know Mr.Bob for a few years as I rented his place. He is an incredibly kind, tenacious and caring person. He deeply cared about his house and touched the lives of so many people like myself with his big heart, open mind and pleasant smile. I will forever remember the times I spent with him, doing yardwork or listening to stories in the garden. Mr. Bob - I will never forget the times I shared with you and will deeply miss you, May you rest in peace ! My sincere & deepest condolences to Rich, Linda & the family.

Bobby was an icon, and I cannot imagine the city of Newark without him, much less Indian Road. Condolences to Linda, Rick and Victoria. Proof of Bobby's excellence as a father was the unfailing care with which they attended him these last years. I very much regret missing the service and the chance to say good bye to my admirable neighbor, as I am in Chicago. I will be thinking of you all on Tuesday, and wishing Bobby a good exit.

Russell. Sholl,. My prayers. And condolences to out to Bob's family! My stepfather. Paul. Davis did Bob's plumbing work at his house and other places! Your father was a hard worker and easy to understand! I really liked your dad because he would listen to you and then give his opinion! He also was proud of his work at GM! We will miss him! It's a ashame that we all grow old and miss each other! Bob R!I!P! My friend RuSSell Sholl. Elkton MD! 1. 410. 398. 5483. Call me. At any time

My condolences to Bobby's family. We were friends with Annabelle and Bobby for many years and exchanged many good times with others in our Newark neighborhood. I always enjoyed visiting Bobby in his later years sitting by the wood burning stove or sitting on the patio admiring the gardens he was so proud of. I shall miss exchanging stories of our past and catching up on the news of our friends with him. He was one of my many "boyfriends. "

To Jim Wollaston. Sorry to read about your brother. My condolences to you and your family. It's been many years since our days at NYLIC. Hope all is well with you and your family, as he was a family man like you.
