Bob, we may have had our differences, but your love for our boys was undeniable. You will be missed by all of us. I will do my best raising the boys, but it won't nearly be the same. We will do our best and know that your boys will honor your memory in their deeds and accomplishments. Seamus and Sean are talking about guitar lessons and I'm getting them a boom box to listen to your CDs. We will visit you frequently and think of you often. Rest in peace.

Bob was a great customer and a great man in general. I had the pleasure of talking about guitars and gear with him every time he came into Daddy's, The Music Mill, and Guitar Center. He was a sweet man and he will be missed.

I'm going to miss my friend a lot.

He also worked in radio at WCGY and other stations and one of the things he loved about his job at Moore Center was helping people that were going through a tough time and dealing with grief.

He was such a loving guy, we could use his smile and his humor to help us get through our grief of him being gone.

Love you Bob.
