    When I think of uncle Bobby I will do so with a smile. He was full of life, animated, and the biggest heart. He made me laugh whenever he was around just by being himself. We will miss him dearly he was a big part of our crazy family. Until we meet again babeepbaboop!

    So sorry to hear of Bob's passing. We shared many good times in sports at school and down at the Cape in the summer. Never forget the first time Bobby was allowed to take Lydia's new Mercury. He backed out of the drive, dropped the gearshift into drive and promptly dropped the drive shaft onto the road. We shared many wonderful times and he always kept us laughing.
