    Cousin Bob, you've now passed the torch as the Grand Old Man of the Clan, a title I wish you would have held for many more years than you have. It was good to know you these seven decades, and you will not be forgotten. Those were the days.

      God bless you Bob and my heartfelt condolences to Sally and to your family. My memories of our friendship go back to grammar school where at St. Salomea we first met and where we eventually graduated in 1959. Subsequently, we chose separate paths. In 1963 after high school, you enlisted in the  Marines while I enlisted in the Army. Nevertheless we maintained our friendship and in recent years, we were able to get together several times. Bob, those memories will not be forgotten, as I truly miss you my friend. Rest in peace. Semper Fidelis...

    So sorry for your loss Sallie, Lisa, Jimmy and Nicole. I have so many fond memories of him during my teen years and early 20s. Makes me smile just thinking of him. I know he is leaving a huge hole in your lives. Love Ranger and you guys :) Sending hugs and love.

    For 10 + years you not only have been a great neighbor, you have truly been a great friend. How I will miss your fatherly advice, your corny jokes and our endless gossip sessions over a bottle (or two, or three, lol) of wine. I could always count on you if I needed something, and you were so good to myself and all of my family. The kids always knew if they stopped at your house they would get that special treat every time!! I will miss you so much, I already do. Your beloved Sheila always has a dog bed to sleep on at our house and a place to hang out, and we will be sure we bring her back to Sallie all tired out just like you liked. Thanks for all the laughs, advice , being the best drinking buddy, and all you've done for us! Memories I will cherish forever!!
