Dear Kathy and Family,

Joan and I wish to express our deepest sympathy to you. We always knew how much Maine meant to Bob. He found a great deal of satisfaction and relief in his garden and garden chores - we will always relish those conversations.

I will remember warmly the wonderful discussions we had about children, familiy and animals. Bob was a colleague who freely shared his opinions and wealth of knowledge. Some times we didn't agree, but we always loved the discussion. He taught me much. I will miss him.

Dear Aunt Kathy, Colleen, Katie, Maureen, and Timmy:



I have many found memories of your house in Rockland. Coming over and playing with Colleen and Katie. And of course there was Maine and the Sullivans. You have always had a wonderful family, I hope that my family will be as yours was as they grow up. Recently I saw my Christrening video. Uncle Bob was quite a cutie. Love Joann Lebherz Peltier
