Micki, Robert Jr. and Maryann. Bob and I go back along way, from one of my earliest memories is that of Bob and I going to feed the horses in West Haven, while the whole neighborhood was out looking for us, we were about 6 or 7 years old, it was about 1949-50. Jumping over the fence at Yale Bowl to see Yale Footaball games on Saturday afternoons, and Bob would almost always rip his pants on the way down. Double dating as teenagers. Bob driving to Wildwood N.J for a weekend, we got in to an accident, we took a bus to NY and than a train home. My memories will last a lifetime, and our prayers are with him always.
