Dear Norma and family, it is with great sadness to hear of Bob's passing. I first met Bob when I was a young girl babysitting his children. They were all great kids and he was a great guy. You are all in my prayers. May your wonderful memories carry you through this difficult time.

I am so sorry to see this notice of Bob's death. We were neighbors in Narragansett. I'll miss his call to me :"Hey McCarten". I'd call back: "Hey McCartin." May he rest in peace!
