Bob was a good friend and teammate. My relationship with Bob is something that I valued very much. We went back to High School and later in life with the Chiefs. I am very sorry for Donna's loss and also that of the family

Donna, Mark,Robin, & Vince,
My condolences. Unfortunately I am not around to attend the service. I will always be grateful to Bob as he hired me at TPPD 27 years ago and stared my career in Parks & Rec.. I also had the honor of being teammate on the Chiefs.
Bob was a good man with a great sense of humor.
I know he was a great husband, father, & grandfather.
Again my condolences to you all.

Hard to believe it's been 20 years since Bob helped me coach our summer baseball team with Vince as one of our pitchers. Bob new a lot about baseball and it was always good to have him around the team as he was very well respected in addition to being a nice guy. My sympathies are with Vince and the rest of the family.

Dear Donna and Fiore Family,

Please accept our deepest sympathy and prayers on the loss of Bob. Kristina and I had the pleasure of meeting Bob and you, sharing a pizza, back in 2010. During those few hours, Bob made us feel like we knew him for years and not a few hours. Bob and you welcomed us with open hearts, kindness, and a willingness to hear a story close to my heart. From that day forward, we have felt blessed that Bob and you considered us friends.

We will always treasure those memories and Bob will forever be in our thoughts and prayers.

Dear Donna, Mark, Robin & Vince,

I am writing to share with you how sorry we are for your loss. We will miss Bob, very, very much.

Throughout the years, Nottingham became "kinda like" a family and in many ways, Bob and Donna were "kinda like" the Mom & Dad. They were a whole year older, you know!

I like to think Bob did find me a source of amusement and of course I was more than happy to oblige and provide him entertainment!

I not only loved him but respected him...I can still hear his voice when he would say, "Patricia..." and call me on some philosophical difference. I will miss that. One of our last conversations was of that nature.

Mike and I are both grateful for having had the opportunity of knowing Bob. We valued his friendship, kindness and thoughtfulness. We'll miss his laugh, and the good times we shared. Bob's memory is held deep within our hearts.

With our love, prayers and sympathy,

Pat & Mike
