Bob was a longtime neighbor of ours. Bob was more than just a neighbor he was a friend, and advisor, like a second parent. I knew if I ever had any questions Bob would have an idea, solution or an answer. Bob took pride in everything he did write down from his yard to every item he owned. He took interest in our lives, our kids and was quick with his witty personality. At times he was downright funny. I will miss his smile and meeting him at the end of the driveway when retrieving mail. I'm sure that there is a part of all of us that will go on living with a part of Bob's wisdom.He will be missed.

Bob was a dedicated member of the exercise program at Stoughton Hospital for many years. He had a sharp wit and great sense of humor and kept the 9:00am class 'on their toes' (and the rehab staff too!) Carol, we are so, so sorry to hear of his passing. He will be missed by many. Sending prayers to you and your family for comfort during this difficult time. Most sincerely, Betsy, Jen, Melissa, Karen and Brianna- Cardiac Rehab staff
