Bobby was adored by all he came in contact with. A simple guy with a heart of gold. Always going above and beyond for his wife and children. Spending countless hours practicing and coaching sports, grilling out on the deck, and helping them with school work, even if that meant he had to learn it himself. If you needed a helping hand or a listening ear, Bobby was your guy, always offering words of wisdom and encouragement to those who needed it. An avid Boston sports fan and golf enthusiast, Bobby also loved spending time in the sunshine, specifically Florida, where he and his beloved wife Jane vacationed every March to escape those New England winters he despised so much. Mason Local 3 and Teamsters Local 25. A hard worker through and through.

Bobby’s legacy will live on through his loved ones and he will truly be missed.
