I was Bob's Store Night Mgr for 2 years at the Wapppingers Falls
store. he was the consummate professional.
one of his favorite lines was ( lets have a dialouge you talk I listen
I talk I, you listen.)
he always spoke fondly of his family.
Sincerely

I never heard Bob raise his voice, or swear, even when he missed a big score in darts. He had this little boy charm about him, and yet he would be someone that i would ask an opinion of. He would help anyone that needed it, he would offer his time to all, he would calmly listen. He will be missed. Cindy, you are an amazing person, know that. love you
