Dear Marsha, Peter and family – I was saddened when I read of Bob’s passing this morning.Bob Paquette was a very nice man whom I got to know when our sons played sports together. Always smiling and always seemed to be in a good mood. I would see him every morning at Stewarts when we were on our way to work. Always a good word and always asked about my son Ben. He will be missed. My thoughts and prayers go out to your family at this most difficult time. RIP Bob.
Marsha and family,
How Bob always had a friendly greeting. I miss him in church with that smile. May have the peace he so deserves. I know you will all miss him. Remember the good times and the happy days.
