Thinking of you today, Joan.
Anniversaries are so hard to get through.
Jack, Betty and I drove by the A+P building in Medford Square where Bob and Jack worked so many years ago. Great memories.  I kind of lost touch with him after high school, but Bob will always have a special place in my heart.

Dear Joan,  I have so many happy memories of Bob and you. Sixty years seems like such a short time but I am blessed to have known such a wonderful friend as Bob. I have many happy memories of the times I spent with you and Bob. He will forever be in my heart. You are in my thoughts and prayers all the time. Thank you for being such a wonderful friend.  Love, Dianne

Dear Joan, I just want you to know that I have been thinking of you and your family  praying for your peace and comfort in your loss of Bob, but especially today, his 1st anniversary.  It's hard to believe  it's been a year.  My brother, Jack, sister Betty and I have so many wonderful, crazy and fun memories of time spent with  our dear friend, Bob.  Never a dull moment! I can honestly say, we will never forget him.
Love and prayers,
Carol Booth Dolan

Bob coming to see me when I had just returned from Europe. I will miss you my friend. 
Much love

I feel so blessed to have Bob in my life for over 60 years.  I loved our long talks, our many laughs. Driving around DC with the hazard lights on. The trip to the store and the V W was overloaded. Thought he was going to lose what he purchased when we got on the highway. The wonderful times I spent with Bob and you Joan. Words can never express what is in my heart. I do know, that when the train stops at my station, Bob will be there to greet me and welcome me aboard. Until we meet again dear friend..

Sending our love and sympathy to all, especially you Joan, on the passing of dear Bob.  Our memories go back over 50 years when we first knew Bob, as "Mr. Young."  What a wonderful man who was loved by so many.  May our heavenly Father continue to shower all of you with his love and blessings.  

We met Bob and Joan Young over 19 years ago!  Bob was a gentle, caring,handsome, and highly intelligent man.  Bob knew his geography and loved to explain math strategies with my son, Seth.  Bob enjoyed telling stories about his immediate family,  adventures in the Navy, and his love for trains.   So my son and Bob, hit it off together having serious conversations, all about trains.  So every year, for several years Bob and Joan and our family headed to the Largest Train Store in Florida.  Seth my son was excited to see Bob, when they came to their second home in Florida.  Because Seth would get train books, train tapes, and an Engineer hat, just like Bob's.  We loved sitting at the dinner table with Bob conversing over a big plate of spaghetti, desert, and coffee.   Bob was truly loved by all, he will be missed.   To Joan and family, may the Lord grant you strength and peace during this difficult time.  Love, Frank, Nancy, and Seth Kearns

Our favorite recent memory of Bob is when we visited Bob an Joan in Md for a few days, and Jack and Bob got into this fun discussion of buying a Hinckley and sailing around with Joan and I.  The only hitch was I get seasick.  We are so sorry for your loss Joan.  He was a wonderful guy and was a good friend to me .  No words can make this easier but hopefully your wonderful life memories will sustain you in the days ahead.  Millie (Kel) and Jack Kelly
