My dear "Uncle Bob". There are not enough word to cover how wonderful he was. Such a great friend to my parents in circle 59 at South Meadow Village. He and my dad, Ed Beaudry, were the tall and short of it in the circle. He was always there for anything my parents needed and then especially for my sister and I upon the passing of our mother and three years later, our father. He gave welcoming hugs and opened his home up for anyone who needed a place for comfort and laughs. His steak dinners with they guys were legendary as his advise of Jameson's for all cold related ailments. Godspeed, Bob. You've a lot of people waiting to celebrate with you in heaven.

Mr. Meenan,
Sir, I would just like to say thank you for your service and sacrifice for our Country when you served with the USN during the Cold War. Millions of Americans slept safe at night because you and your fellow Servicemen stood ready to defend our Country. And to your Family and loved ones, I wish to extend my deepest sympathy.
