Captain Bob who epitomized the saying " walk quietly and carry a big stick". Captain Bob wasn't much for fanfare, was a true friend built on substance and loyalty. I was honored to be elected co-captain with Bob through out our years at Everett High School. In spite of the fleeting time that escaped us seeing each other more often, we never lost our friendship. My sincerest condolences to you Rosemary and your children, a good man will truly be missed. extenuating circumstances prevent me from being there with you and yours at this sad time.
Keeping you in our thoughts and prayers from afar Jim and Elaine.
