Dear Mrs. Champney and family, I want to extend my sincere condolences to all of you on Bob's passing. We worked together in Marlboro for many years and he was always supportive of his teachers and staff. Although he appeared stern on the outside to the students, he had a soft spot to help out those that needed a kind word or support. I have thought of him often especially during BC football seasons and wondered if he still had tickets. What an honor he got as a long time ticket holder. May your fond memories bring you smiles and happiness to help during the sad days ahead. RIP Mr. Champney! Sincerely, Sue Gebhart-Mohran

Dear Mrs. Champney and Family, Please accept my condolences on the passing of your husband, Bob. As a former Holliston student of yours I was saddened to read of your husband's death, however I must say that I can relate to all of those wonderful Boston College tailgate parties and football games that your husband so enjoyed! As they say "Once An Eagle, Always An Eagle"... May your beloved husband and father continue to fly on "Eagle's Wings"... With sympathy, Mary-Caryl (Shannahan) Ferdenzi
