When were kids during the blizzard of 78 , Bob came to the rescue with his Ford Backhoe. Almost every winter , he would pile the snow into a giant mountain so we could build snow fort's. He put in our first driveway. He was such a great man. We would all run out to greet Bob , when he would pull in to say hi to our parents. We have such great memories of Bob. He will never be forgotten. He was such a part of Rockland. My condolences to the Corvi family. GOD bless. James MacDonald .
