Laura just wrote me and told me that Bob passed away this morning. Tim Sheldon was there and sat through the night with Bob and his mom.
I actually thank Bob (& Tim and a few others) for turning me onto The Beatles...and other music of that generation. When we had down time during rehearsals of Brigadoon senior year, a group of us hung out in the office just off stage (it held all the old yearbooks I think) and they'd all listen to 60's and early 70's music. I did not like that music...but then I heard "My Guitar" and start to like it. Now I love it! Thank You Bob!
He will truly be missed. Please keep his wife, Janet, son, Albert(5) and family in our prayers.

I googled and found this obituary for Bob. It's hard to believe and so sad. He, Rob Collier, Toni Calabrese and I sat together alot at lunch our junior year and he was a riot. I remember way back then he was saving money to buy a computer. I remember how amazing that seemed that he would be able to purchase a "personal computer". My thoughts and prayers go out to his wife and son.
