Just got the WBMC email today because I was sick with Covid (came down with it Nov 9th) and I was shocked and sorrowed to hear of Bob’s passing. he was such a wonderful guy! I am sorry that I did not get to the wake! He did a magnificent job on the Board of the Men’s Club and contributed greatly to the organization. I enjoyed his company a lot when I was able to get to meetings and functions of the Club
My deepest sympathy to the O’Connell family. Lots of great neighborhood memories-ice skating on the farm pond. Bob was a great guy.
So sad to hear this, Bob was a great person, Sorry to family for your loss
Bobby,
It’s truly a hard thing to be writing a condolence about you at this time for I thought with all the stubborn Irish convictions you had in you that you’d live to be at least 100! I always considered you more then just a friend but somebody you’d mark down as a lifelong brother! After all, I did spend just about as much time at your house with your family as I did with mine growing up! I will always cherish the many memories we shared thru the years from hanging out at the farm as kids, the milk runs at Munroe Dairy, all the camping trips we went on to going into the direct mail business together in the late 80’s. May God, your mom and dad, along with your grandmother be there with open arms to welcome you home, and may you always be available as a returning Angel to Sharon, Emily and the entire O’Connell family!
You will be sorely missed!
R.I.P. Your brother, Mike Harnois
