Bob was a dedicated employee of the Fall River Diocese for over 30 years including time with Holy Family-Holy Name School, Catholic Social Services, and Bishop Stang High School.
Bob’s presence was always felt at family gatherings with his positive nature and cheerful temperament, where he greeted all who entered with a hug. His smile could light up any room he entered. He was a beacon of light to those around him, and he never ceased to express his love and gratitude to all those that crossed his path. Bob will be remembered for his devotion to his family and friends, his giving heart, his persevering spirit, and his uplifting outlook that marked his life until the very end.
