I miss Bob's good nature and sharp sense of humor. I knew Bob since I was six or seven --all through St Augustine's and La Salle. I enjoyed his stories of his Coast Guard experience--especially while in the North Atlantic
I still miss him.

Dear Ann, Kevin, Kerry, Melissa, Kate, & Meghan-a candle to light his way-peace and fond memories to you all!

Dear Ann,
I am truly sorry and deeply saddened hearing the terrible news. I knew Bob since we were seven or eight years old. Billy, Bobby and I would watch Wild Bill Hickok, Sky King, and other kids shows on Saturday mornings. I am so glad we rekindled our friendship over the past years. His stories of the Arctic when he served in the Coast Guard were unforgettable and very, very funny.

I'll think of him every time we meet for lunch.
