    Bobby was always so kind and calming. He would just come to life when talking about his children and grandchildren, he couldn't have been prouder. May God rest his soul and welcome him into heaven.

    Bobby was one of the kindest human beings on the planet. When Brian and I got engaged and hadn't broken the news yet he was the first one to notice the ring, and came over and gave me a giant hug and welcomed to me to the family. I'll always remember that. He was quiet and unassuming with an awesome sense of humor just an all-around great guy who will be extremely missed. Our condolences to the entire family.. sending you much love and peace. The CT Flahertys

    Bob was one of the most humble and sincere neighbors W Bellecrest Ave could've asked for. Denise, Matthew and myself will definitely miss hearing Bob yell from across the street "Hello" followed by a friendly waive and some Pirates talk. It won't be the same not seeing him every few days or getting that friendly greeting, but we know he'll be watching over us all. May the family and many friends find comfort in knowing we've all gained an amazing guardian angel and the blessing of just knowing Bob.

    So sorry about your loss. I didn't know Bob but heard lots of stories from Steve and Keely. Sounds like he was a wonderful man. ❤️
