Bob was a long time resident of Norwood. He and Linda were high school sweethearts who raised their 3 boys in the town and never missed a chance to watch them on the baseball field. Bob was a graduate of Norwood High School and Boston College, and had a long career in the home heating oil business before retiring to Scituate and discovering a knack for gourmet cooking. Bob led a life of quiet dedication to his family, friends, colleagues, and clients, and always put the needs of others before his own.

A memorial mass will take place at 10am on December 16th at St. Mary of the Nativity in Scituate. A further celebration of Bob’s life will take place at a later date.

In lieu of flowers, contributions in his memory may be made to Hospice of the South Shore, 30 Reservoir Park Drive, Rockland, MA 02370.
