I am so saddened to hear of Bobby’s passing but have very found memories of all the fun we had with all of you over the years. I am grateful that his suffering is over and he is in a better place.
When I heard of Bobby’s passing it brought back so many memories of Bobby and me. The first time I actually talk to him was at Elias County Store I was riding my bike and fell in a pot hole in the parking lot, that starting a very long relationship, I will truling miss him he was a good friend. He is looking down on us with a can of natural Light saying here’s to ya.

So sorry for our loss. I worked with Bob at Meyer Laminates and we were always joking around with each other. I just found out tonight that he passed away. Good times for a good man is how I will hold his memory. Peace

So sorry to hear of Bobby’s passing. My thoughts and prayers are with his family. I will remember Bobby as kids growing up. My brother Bill and I would travel from Somerville with my father, Dick to visit Richie and Bobby. We often would play baseball in the field on Federal Street where he grew up.
