I worked with Bob, at Finch,Pruyn for some 30 years he was one of the best foremen I ever worked with.He knew his job,he knew his people. Sorry for your family’s lost
My late husband was Bob’s nephew( Gerald and Marion’s son)- Every time we went to NY,when Jerry was alive, we tried to find Uncle Bob but were never successful. Uncle Bob was Jerry’s favorite uncle- I’m a nurse and was actually working when one of you was born.
My sincere condolences to all of you- Anna and Albert are celebrating in heaven- they have all of their children finally in heaven
Although I never met Robert (Bob), I would like to offer my condolences to his family on their loss. My father was James A. Smith, Sr., one of Robert’s brothers. From looking at Robert’s picture, I can definitely see his resemblance to my father.
