Bob was a good man, friend, and neighbor. We will miss him on the golf course, at breakfasts, dinners, and get togethers. May he RIP. Our sincere condolences to Madge and family.
Bob was a friend and a committed partner in supporting Mendon Conservation League. He was quick to offer his help without being asked. We had many enjoyable times working and shooting together.. I will miss him and Mendon Conservation League will miss him.
I only knew Bob for the past 5 years but was deeply saddened by the news of his passing. Whenever running into him at the MCL Club, in a random store or on the golf course Bob always greeted me with a big smile and often a story. No matter what the situation Bob was always willing to help. I will really miss seeing him.
Marie and family…. my condolences. I worked with Bob at the Fairport PO for many years.Shared many laughs along with hard work.Also enjoyed many POKER nights with fellow carriers.
