I knew Bob since the third grade Saint Ann's School. He was a gentle guy, he was intelligent very good at math. We formed a band together in 1963 in the sixth grade he played guitar, group was called The Wayward Five, a year before the Beatles came to America. We played songs from the fifties and very early 60s. He had a White Gibson Les Paul 3 pickup custom guitar that his father Frank bought him. We played some grammar school dances and some assorted parties.
We remained friends thru high school and afterwards.
I will always remember him as a sensitive intelligent talented guy. I am proud to have known him in this life he'll always be in my prayers
May God bless you my friend Lo...
