I am so saddened to learn of Bob's passing. He was a cornerstone of this neighborhood and always there with a smile and a wave whenever I saw him. I shall truly miss not having him around, keeping a watchful eye on us. At least we can be at peace knowing he's with Jean again. My thoughts are with you during this difficult time.

I am so sorry to hear of Bob's death. My father tells me he was one of the first people to help out when our house in Natick burnt down in the 80's. I know he will be missed by my grandparents Helen+Walter Parker.

My husband, Art Tupper passed away last October. He spoke often about the time Bobby and he whipped up the JV's to beat the Varsity in practice for that great year, 1950. Their lives paralled in many ways; Cochituate, U.S. Air force, four children. Love, memories and prayer will sustain you. Eileen Costello Tupper,(Marlborough)

My husband, Art Tupper, passed away last October. He spoke often in recent years about the time he and Bobby whipped up the JV's enough to beat the Varsity at Wayland High during practice for that great year, 1950. Their lives paralled in many ways:Cochituate, U.S. Air Force and four children. Your love, memories and prayer will sustain you.
