Robert (I called him Bob once and he corrected me) welcomed us to the neighborhood the day we moved in. When he was healthy he would mow my lawn once in a while. He was kind of the neighbor hood watch all by himself. He reminded me a little of Cory Feldman from the movie "The Burbs", but without a crowd of people on the porch. He always knew what was going on. It was possible to see him just standing in the carport looking out any time of the day or night. He would go out the carport door and if I was on my deck listening to a Yankee game we would chat a bit. He was so proud of Sherry and Chaise. He loved to talk about Chaise's exploits in sports. A good neighbor. A good guy to talk to.

With our deepest sympathy and prayers for you at this sad time. I will always think of him as Bobby. The one thing I'm sure of is how much he loved and how proud he was of his wife and son.
RIP Bobby
