    Dear Pauline, Ladonna and Dawn,
    Please accept our deepest condolences on the loss of your husband and father. Bobby was a wonderful man and we cared deeply about him. We will never forget the many 4th of July “good times” at the cottage and all the other events that we were invited to. Bobby will always be remembered for his kindness, good humor, and generosity and will never be forgotten.
    Love, Ray & Kathy

    To Bob’s Family,

    My heart goes out to you in your time of sorrow and would like to express my sincerest condolences for the loss of your husband, father, grandfather and brother. To me Bob was not only a customer of the Putnam Country Club but a friend. The American Legion Golf League will never be the same without him. Over the years, his kindness, generosity and that infectious, endearing laugh helped make Wednesday’s at the club one of the most enjoyable for all the staff. He always had a big crowd around him, everyone listening to stories about the family he loved so much, work, life and escapades with his right-hand man and best bud Tom. Although I knew him only for a small fraction of his vast life on this earth, knowing him was a great pleasure in my life. May the love of those around you help you through the days ahead and know that Bob lives in the hearts of those left behind.

    Pauline and family, very sorry to hear of Bob’s death. I remember how much my late husband Bruce Hall enjoyed Bobby’s company and what fun they had skiing on the Lake. My condolences to you and family.

    Ladonna- I’m so sorry to hear about your Dad. Having lost my Dad several years ago I know how tough it is and how hard it is to see them that way. My thoughts and prayers are with you and the rest of your family.

    Pauline and friend,

    I only met you yesterday but knew Bob through his golf league at the former Putnam Country Club, now CT National. He was such a fun loving, kind and easy going guy. I will always remember his smile and the love he had for his family and friends. My thoughts are with you all.

    Pauline, I can relate to your sorrow as I lost my husband last May. Please know in time and the support of your family will ease your pain. Lean on them.

    Bob will be close by your side on Friday…Happy Anniversary!

    ~ Judy ~
