I recently met Bob as I was a caregiver in his final days. I did not know Bob long, but is gentle smile and sparkling blue eyes I will forever remember! What I will cherish, is a new friendship that I have started with Linda through all of this. I wish I could have known BoB in his younger days. Being a New York sports fan Im sure we would have had many fun conversations! God Bless you in Heaven Bob ...and prayers and strength for you Linda 😊

We met Bob and Linda when we moved into the Bay Crossing community. They were so welcoming. Bob recommended our first doctor in Delaware. I remember passing Bob walking on the Rehoboth Boardwalk early most mornings, always a smile on his face and a friendly greeting. He will be missed!

As a neighbor & friend of Linda Ruth, I remember Bob's gentle smile whenever I came to visit . He would be siting on the livingroom couch, in his favorite yellow sweater, obviously happy for Linda to have her friends over. And I remember on one special occaision seeing the largest & most beutiful vase of yellow roses he gave to 'the love of his life'. He was a real ⁸gentleman & his precence will be missed by us all.

We first met Linda and Bob at Bay Crossing's first community party in the parking lot. We became good friends talking about all the Philly sports. Once the clubhouse was open Bob and I would watch the Eagles on Sunday afternoons and share Philly soft pretzels and Kick 'n Chicken( Bob's favorite!)
Bob was always kind, wise, and full of life and laughter. His big smile was contagious. He'll be truly missed. Ray and Maryanne Bunch

For the very short period that I knew Bob, I could tell he was an amazing man loved by all who knew him. We find solace in the fact that he rest peacefully in the bosom of the Lord as he dedicated his life to the service of God as a devout Catholic and an altar boy growing up. To Mrs Ruth, his son Michael and the rest of the family I would like to leave this Bible Verse for your comfort.
Psalms 34:18 “The Lord is near to the brokenhearted and saves the crushed in spirit.” - Kwaku/ Kay
