Bob was such a great family man. He and Sally attended every one of their children’s sports events. They have left a great legacy.

Devaney family, long time since i had heard from your dad or even had seen him. I worked with dad for several years while at Sanders, and he was such a good man and father, as there were many hockey games to attend. Had a lot of good times and great chats with him at work and at games So sorry for your loss my condolences to all, God Bless,
Richard and Judy Frongillo
