Spent many a day around the pine trees at Nausauket, waiting for the school bus with Bob and friends. Had some good times, back in high school. Sorry to see Bob's gone. A good man. My sincere sympathies to his family.

Bobby was a dear friend to our whole family. He worked with our Dad at Electric Boat for many years, and his annual Superbowl parties were just so special. Family, friends and his former co-workers always got together to have many laughs. Rest easy, my friend. Our whole family will never forget you. I'm rooting for the Pittsburgh Steelers to win it all this year for you.
