Share your Memorial with Family & Friends

Though I know that this is a difficult time for you, my hope is that you will be comforted from God's inspired word the Bible. John 5:28,29 and Revelation 21: 3,4 gives hope of a future resurrection and the complete elimination of death, pain and mourning. Under Jesus' kingdom rule we have this and much more to look forward to. Please accept my deepest condolences. For more scriptural encouragement please go to www.jw.org.

Bob gave me a chance in baseball that I'll always remember. He was a great guy, and I think of him as a friend. Bobby will be missed. Condolences to Sandra and family...

Bob and Sandy welcomed me into their home when I was home on leave from the Navy for a week or so. So genuine - Down to earth - Good people. I don't think I ever thanked them enough for putting up with that young dumb kid. He also got me my first car... A Rambler Station wagon with push button transmission... Good thing he worked at Art's and had access to a Tow Truck....Laughing about it!!! Rest Well Bobby!!!! It was my pleasure to have known you....... Sandy and the extended Fairbanks family... My deepest condolences.

My heartfelt condolences to Sandra and her family. Anyone would be hard-pressed to find a kinder human being than Uncle Bob and I know he will be missed by all who knew him. May there be peace in the knowing that he is in the arms of God. Fondly, Stephanie

Robert was a great friend as we grew up in Hopkinton. He had a unique nickname that I will not use at this time. He was always happy and full of fun. When I returned to teach and help coach football in 1968, after being away for 12 years, our friendship had not diminished during the intervening years. Please accept our condolences. Our love and prayers to his family. George and Georgia Brodeur

I have known Bob most of my life and have never met a nicer kinder man than him. He was the best neighbor and friend anyone could ever wish for. I hope that him and Michael are now playing golf with my Dad, Tom Bagley, and my brother, Bob and keeping everyone in line. Bob was truly one of a kind and will never be forgotten and Elm Street will never be the same. RIP you are so loved.
