Bob was a great guy. Worked with him from the days of DEC. One thing he reminded me of... that I never forgot was , "Never worry about anything you can replace with money." Simple but true. God bless his family.

Bob and I grew up in same neighborhood in Maynard. There never was a day that we didn’t play some of game at the Whitney homestead. Although older, Bob always took time with the younger neighbors to make sure they were included. My prayers go to his family and friends as they mourn the loss of one great guy.
