Dear Mary and family. My sincere condolences at the loss of Bob. As you know, we go way back and spent many a Sunday afternoon watching football. We also reminisced about our running days and being past presidents of the Massapequa Road Runners. Bob was a great man and was always there for everyone. A tremendous loss for all who knew him.

Bobby was one helluva guy that always greeted me with a warm smile. He was brother cop and veteran like myself. He was the one that discovered me at a boxing amateur show and felt that I had the goods to become pro. I will truly miss his jokes and sense of humor. May you rest in peace with the angels and until we meet again brother…🙏🏽
