I sat with Bob every Sunday @ mass at Holy Cross C.C. in our pew. I so enjoyed being with him both as a religious and a friend. We had alot of special friends together, and he’ll be missed greatly. Love you my friend, Sr. John mary
I was in the speech communications department with Bob at San Diego State University. I remember the two of us performing in a readers theater performance of the Hobbit.
My wife and I went to Rhode Island while he was there and stayed with him and his mom. He was a giant Winston Churchill fan. Sorry to hear he is no longer with us
Bob was a mentor for many years. He was my Professor at Salve, he was a friend that spent time with my wife and myself seeing all kinds of places including a extraordinary Christmas dinner and yuletide celebration at the Publick House in Sturbridge, MA.
Between our friendship, Reader’s Theater and the Hobbit which he arranged for us to do on Channel 12 in Providence, RI, Bob was a man of many talents, an extraordinary mentor, and a good friend.
