To Bob's family,I am very sorry to hear the news of Bob's passing. I was concerned when my last few rounds of emails went unanswered. Knowing Bob as I did I thought he might have been on one of those spectacular cruises he loved so much.21 years ago i was a young intern from MA working for Bob in Washington D.C. What a tremendous experience it was listening and learning from some one who had mastered the gift of making people feel special. Bob always stressed the importance of making an effort of keeping in touch with those whose paths you crossed in life. I always looked forward to our phone calls and the Christmas cards we would share. There are people who you meet along your journey who leave a lasting impression on you -Your brother, father, husband, and grandfather was that to me. He was very proud of his family and spoke fondly of you all.. Please take some comfort in knowing that he may be gone but he will not be forgotten!Rest in peace!Matthew KeatorLenox MA
Happy Birthday Dad!
