Bob always displayed a bright smile and sunny disposition. He possessed a love of family, friends and the outdoors, especially fishing, gardening and wildlife. He was an avid Red Sox and Patriots fan.

The family expresses appreciation for the special care he received from the staff of Hospice, the VNA and VA. Though there will be no viewing or service at this time, a memorial Mass and Celebration of Life will be planned once it is safe to assemble. Bob would be honored if any donation in his name be made to the Wounded Warrior Project.
