I am the cousin of "Bobby", and I always talked with him on Veterans Day. We talked several times during the year and Fort Hill football was always a topic. We had similar political views also. I grew up with Bobby. He lived below our grandmother and I lived above her. I will miss our conversations. I just learned of his death on Veterans Day. He always talked about how you saved his life, Jeff, when he had his first stroke and he was a proud grandfather. Deepest sympathies to you and your family

When Bob was with the Park Police my husband at the time, John Gonsorcik, myself and Linda his wife were good friends. We enjoyed many times together. Bob was fun and a good person. Sending my condolences to his family.
