I had the pleasure of meeting Bob about five years ago.� He was the kindest and purest man I have ever met.� Whenever I get back to the Boston area I always think I should swing by and see him.� I did not realize Bob was ill.� He has a standup guy, truly likeable in every way.� I am terribly saddened to have read this email.

Thanx for posting this Larry.

Subject: We lost an icon last night - Boston Bob Donalds

Friends,

What a terrible loss.

Maggie & I were aware that Bob was in the hospital but had no idea it
was because of something so serious.

Bob was such a cornerstone of this community and contributed so very
much over the years.

The vacuum that is left will affect us all.

Bob .. may the road ahead be filled with bliss and good adventure

Larry & Maggie
