- From: Jim Gaudet
Location:Rochester, NYCheri, Stephanie and Jim, my condolences and prayers go out to you for the loss of Bob, one of the best and strongest man I knew. I didn't know that when I first met him in the fall of 1972 at the TEP house at RIT that it would be the start of a 40 year friendship. We watched our children grow up while in Rochester and over the years shared a few adventures in the back woods of the Adirondack's during Memorial Day weekends. While life has a way of seperating us, we always seemed to connect every once in a while. A piece of my heart is lost but my memories will always keep him in it. I'll miss him dearly....Cheri, God bless you for being with him these past years.

Location:Glens FallsI've been remembering Bob with good feelings these days as he would want. I spent a lot of time with him at one point in our lives as we raised our children together. He was devoted to his family and showed it in so many ways. He defined what it means to be a nice guy.
I never saw him in a bad mood or flumouxed under the weight of his responsibilities. He was always upbeat and positive.
