Sorry to hear this about Bob. He was a great CNA and loved by many residents at Strong Nursing Home where we worked together. Hope he’s with his family members and SNH people up above as I know a few who will be very happy to see him and hear his soothing voice again. RIP, Bob.
Rest in Eternal Peace, Uncle Bob.
I am so sorry for your loss. He was much too young…
Sorry to hear of Bob’s passing. He was a very good CNA when he worked with us at Strong Nursing Home. .Hopefully he will

So sorry to hear of Bobby passing. Another of MBHS class of 1971.
So sorry to hear this. I had the pleasure of working with Bob, a number of years ago. He was a caring CNA and a hard worker. He had a great sense of humor, and loved to tease his co-workers.
So sorry to hear about Bobs passing. He was such a loving and caring CNA when I worked with him at Strong nursing home! He used to try to scare us girls on the overnite shift, and would laugh at us when he succeeded. He will be missed. Fly high and RIP my friend. Until we meet again!
I was so sorry to just read Bobby’s obituary. Could someone please forward my message to Bobby’s sister Patrice?
Bobby worked on our farm when his family moved to Porter, Maine. He was like a member of our family.
He returned once to visit my father when he was in the Army.
