I worked with Bobby for over 10 years at Blackstone Pharmacy.
I started working there when I was 14 years old until I graduated from Mass. College of Pharmacy.
He was always there working as the manager of the Pharmacy.
He and I worked many hours together and I got to know him very well. He was a good power of example for me growing up in Blackstone.
He will be missed !
My sympathy to his family and sister Terry.
