Kathy and Jason,
I'm so sorry to hear about Bob's passing. I always enjoyed having him in class at the Y. He was always so friendly and really made us laugh. I know there's a huge hole in your heart, but rest assured he will always be there with you.

Kathy, I was so shocked to hear about Bob´s passing. We have known each other for close to fifty years and he will be really missed. Bob was always the one with a funny retort and had a wonderful sense of humor that we all enjoyed. Please relish the beautiful memories I´m sure you and Jason have of a great and blessed husband and father that Bob was.
May God peace be with you and Jason as you grieve his loss.

Kathy and Jason: We were saddened to hear that Bob passed away...we trust that you will cherish the memories as you reflect over the years that you shared together.
Jason - he will remain a great Dad...for the life lessons that he taught you and the advice he gave.
During the 44 years that I have known Bob, he was witty and had a great sense of humor. He was a great educator - starting in 1979, he was my mentor in the Chemistry Laboratory Dept.
We also admired his athleticism...he inspired us to participate in long-distance group bicycle rides - some of the journeys, e.g., to Montauk, Long Island, were unforgettable adventures.
Again, our sincere condolences to you and the family.
Rest assured that he is singing with the choir of angels in heaven.
Sincerely,
Mark Burbelo
