    Dear Robin,
    Sending you my deepest condolences. I have been friends with you dad for 55 years. Some of my fondest memories are when we went steady for two years in high school. He taught me all about adventure; he taught me how to shoot a rifle and all about modified stock cars. I tribute my 42 years of scuba diving to Randy. He will be greatly missed. Love Carol.

    Robyn, I’m so sorry for your loss. Your family always treated me as one of your own. Some of my very best childhood memories involve your family. From the hijinks we would play on your parents, to dying the cat purple, your parents driving us to every band/sporting/cheerleading event, the summer vacations together, and when our childhood “dream” came true of us finally becoming next door neighbors again after our dads sold their shops on Harvey Street. Thank you for all of the wonderful memories. Your dad will be missed.

    Robyn, Please know you are in my thoughts and prayers. I am so sorry to hear of the passing of your Father. He was a great man and your Mom and Dad brought me into the world of the small cars that he used to race. We spent time with them in Marshfield at the dirt track up there. My heart is full of great memories from the bar, the car lot, Woodbine Inn and the Vets Hall. May he RIP. My condolences to you. Hugs Nancy
