Bob’s marriage of over 50 years to Pat was inspirational. Bob loved his Irish heritage. He visited the “old country” many times, most recently with his sons and many family members in 2010 where they meandered through the countryside and relived his romps as a youth. Bob also was proud to become an American citizen and veteran of the Korean conflict. He had a long and distinguished career with the telephone company but is better defined by his love of family, charitable service, and overall thirst for life. Former commander of the William B.
