I am so sorry to read this notice. Bob was cheerful, thoughtful, and caring. We enjoyed hearing him play his ukulele. But favorite moments were listening in on conversations he shared with my father of their shared experiences as children, at college and in the war as teenagers. Holding his family in the light.

What an amazing gentleman. He will be missed by so many especially those of us who gather to play the ukulele. He will always be part of the Jam.

I will miss Bob, whom I knew through the MV Rotary Club. He always had a big smile , had thoughtful questions, and enjoyed volunteering even as his mobility decreased. Also, I enjoyed reading his many letters to the editor . Whether you agreed or not, they were always carefully crafted and well written .

Robbie was my second cousin and was an outstanding example of a kind and generous man. Our phone calls were always fun and enlightening as he told me of my past family history. He was thoughtful, well spoken and I enjoyed our brief time together. I will miss him always.
