My very favorite memory of Bobby is, years ago when I was visiting my Aunt Di, Bobby presented me with a quart of maple syrup with the following, "Roses are red, violets are purple, I have for you some maple syrple"

Bobby Amblo was his own person--no frills, but honest and straight forward. He adored his mother, Aunt Diane, and was such a blessing to her. I am sure after her death, life was very difficult for Bob. Hopefully he and she are together again and resting in peace. Thanks and gratitude are extended to Kenny Lucia who was such a wonderful, caring and supportive friend. Anne Poirier

Bob and I are first cousins and I too agree that he was truly his own man. And that he lived the way he wanted to live. My wife and I had the opportunity to share time with Bob at his mom's house (my Aunt Di) and had some good talks and great meals together, some of which Bob cooked himself (he learned a lot from Emeril's cooking show). He spent a lot of time at his mom's and was full of grief when she died. Bob, we know how much you loved and missed your mom...so may you now find comfort and peace.

Bobby was Bobby. There was no grey area there. He felt what he felt and lived the way he wanted to live. I had many interaction with him through the years, and there a couple of moments that I will always remember. 1. Driving his Dodge Truck with no floor boards (yes, chew will eat metal) 2. Giving him the Federalist Papers, and getting a history lesson about a ridge in VT that the revolutionaries pulled cannons to the top. 3. When he ate EVERY bit of meat out of a lobster. The only thing left was a shell.
He was a mountain man - a northern version of a "red neck". But most of all he was his own man.
RIP my cousin - I will miss you.

Bob was always a straight shooter. No mixing of words. If he liked it he would say so. If not he would tell you what he thought. He had his ways and I guess there isn't anything wrong in that. I'm just sorry we didn't live closer so we could have got to know each other better.

Bob Amblo was a very funny guy and made me laugh so much when we worked together in Middlebury. Thanks for the smiles and laughter you created.
