Bob loved spending time with his wife and family socializing on the screen porch at the Galvin and Massey Beach Cottage called "Nodnoc" and, when living in Green Harbor, for twenty years, sharing time with his springer spaniel "Freckles" who could be found at his feet even at his office. He will be remembered for his love for family and friends, his selflessness and kindness to his clients, his dedication to his faith, and his devotion to his wife, Patricia.
