I met Mac when I first came aboard the "Mighty Mac" USS McKean DD784 in 1968. I'm pretty sure he was the first person I met walking up to the Bridge to meet the Captain with my orders to serve as the Postal Clerk. He stopped me in the passageway to say "Hello" as would be his custom to everyone he didn't recognize! (Sound familiar?). We became friends at that moment. I also became friends with Kathy ( only because I recognized her handwriting with every love letter she sent Mac! So much so that I remembered their address! So many years later, as I was an over-the road truck driver I stopped in Syracuse and looked them up! I dropped my trailer somewhere out of town and drove to their little corner store to say " Hello"! again! Throughout the years we've stayed in touch! Iam proud to have known Mac and Kathy, Scott and Shawn! May God help you through this loss. Yer Pal- Snake

Kathy, Shawn & Scott, I am so so very sorry to hear of his passing. He definitely was one of those special guys that will never be forgotten. I think my first memory of him was when he was a hall monitor at Henninger. My thoughts, heart and prayers go out to you all, the rest of his family and friends.

In 1981, I was a junior at Henninger High School and would stop by the store everyday.. That April he asked me if I wanted to paint the trim around the store. He asked if I wanted to get paid by the job or by the hour. I told him he would be better off paying by the job because it would be much cheaper. After a few months and having Lou and Mr. Knapp as my official ladder holders I finally did finish. Bob said to me that you have to be the slowest painter in the world. He was happy that I told him to pay me for the job. The main reason I worked so slow was because on Fridays I would get a free fish sandwich from the FISH Cove. I believe I worked slow enough to receive 8 free fish sandwiches. Bob was an awesome guy.

We lived around the corner on Hillsdale. McDonald’s was my store for snacks and candy. I will never forget how he gave us a big bag of candy for our cross country camping trip in 1971. He was the greatest. I will never forget his kindness. RIP Bob and prayers for the family. LaGrow Family.

I graduated with Bob & Bill from Henninger in 1966. I knew Billy from Huntington School and he was my first crush in 4th or 5th grade.
Later years I stopped occasionally in Bob's grocery store. My Father owned Midler Ave Red & White, before renting the store out. Growing up in Eastwood back in the day was the best. All the people were friendly and we all knew our neighbors. I miss those days.
My sympathy to all of Bob's family and friends. So sad to lose a fellow classmate.

Bob was one of my childhood friends in Eastwood. I remember his loyalty to the Eastwood community. He kept the tradition of neighborhood stores in Eastwood. RIP
