Bob and his family were our next door neighbors for many years when we were young. We had many good games and adventures around the neighborhood together. Bob was always polite, respectful, kind, and generous of heart. His presence in town made me feel at home in later years, seeing his familiar face, smile, and jovial spirit. He will be greatly missed.

A chance meeting in Pittsburg brought you and Bob into our lives just a few short years ago. He was a great friend, and we will miss him dearly. R.I.P. my friend.

We are so sorry to hear this news. Bob was a wonderful person and will truly be missed.
Many years ago, Bob agreed to spend a long weekend with our three young children. I am not quite sure he would have ever agreed to that again. I spent many fun nights on the same bowling team. and he always gave me praise, even though I was terrible.
Billy felt fortunate during last Christmas season to have spent additional time with Bob, reminiscing about old times.
Our hearts and prayers go out to Terri, her family and Bob's family.
May the sun shine upon him, the wind be at his back, and...May he rest in peace.
Billy and Patty Wagner,
Deerfield, NH

So sorry to read of Bob's passing. Although I have not seen him in many, many years, we did grow up and go to school together until my family moved to Manchester during my freshman year. I counted Bob among my friends and we frequently played sports and hung out after school and during the summer. Please accept my condolences on your loss. He was a great guy! Richard Rogers

It was apparent from all that knew him either directly or through you, Terri, that he was a great man. I enjoyed hearing the stories of your fishing trips and moose sightings in Pittsburgh, and viewing the results of his talent with stained glass. May your many fond memories keep Bob close in your heart.

Everyone loved Bob! He was a super friend. Always made you laugh and smile. We had so many fun times with him. He always took care of everyone around him who was in need. We will miss him, but will always have him and Terri in our hearts.

Jim and I only knew Bob briefly but he was 'good people'. Jim enjoyed a delightful afternoon in Bob's man cave while Terri and I toured her garden. Bob was so talented. We'll all miss him.

Jim remembers nearly every one of those first years teaching at GHS. He was only 4 years older that his first classes. Instead of chewing him up and spitting him out, those young men and woman helped him become a great teacher. Bob was part of that group of students. He was a good, perhaps goofy, happy young man and Jim enjoyed him in class, and watching from the nearly sold out bleachers during basketball season. He her into a very good husband, dad, and friend to Gofftown. Please accept our condolences.

Thoughts and prayers to the entire McKinnon family. Bob was a good friend who I shared many fun times with during the Goffstown Giant Pumpkin Regatta. There was never a shortage of "good laughs" with Bob. Photo was taken during the annual Trolley Tour to the Mt. Uncanoonuc's hosted by Dave and Nancy Gasseau. RIP my friend

Terri, I’m so sorry for your loss and I’m holding you in my thoughts. He was so sweat and funny when I went to see your garden. Such a gentle giant. :) I’m there if you ever want to talk or need anything.
