Our deepest sympathy to Bob’s family. We had the pleasure of taking care of Bob for a little over two years. Bob loved to call bingo for the folks and participated in many activities. He loved to ride his scooter everywhere he could. He was always scooting around somewhere! He was a great gentleman and will be missed by many. Xoxo ~ The Morgan Estates Family
My deepest sympathy to Bob’s Family. Sounds as though he sure lived a wonderful life all the way to 92 years! Although I had never met the gentleman personally, may he RIP forever, and be remembered for years to come in Vitale Park.
A great gentleman and hard worker all his life. Worked with him at Mohawk airlines late sixties. A pleasure to have known Bob. My prayers for the family Rip Robert
