We’re truly sorry for your loss.
Bob and I were shipmates aboard USS Keppler for 2 years.
He was a fine man, a good saikor, and a life-long friend.
Bob and Carol visited Cheryl, me, and our pack of Collies in Iowa a few years back.
The world is not as good as it was with him in it. Donald Syren, Manchester Iowa.

We met Bob, almost 11 years ago when we moved into the neighborhood. He was always outside with Winston and we would be walking our dog. He always had a pleasant personality and always willing to help. His carpentry was unbeatable, including the little bench he made for us.
Al enjoyed seeing him and James every year at Carlisle for the Corvette show.
He will be missed by everyone in the neighborhood. Truly one of a kind.Al and Arlene Petrucciello

I knew Bob from the day he moved in next door to me in 2008. We couldn’t have asked for a better neighbor. He was always pleasant to be around and always had a smile. We will miss him. Ken and Cheryl Martin

We will miss our next door neighbor of 7years. Used to talk more when he walked Winston frequently. He was always available to help. No task was too difficult for a Navy man. He was proud of his family. Glad you could join him on the Italian trip.
