I was very sorry to hear of Mr. Massie's death. I worked at the Jack Burger Sports Complex as a lifeguard and it was there that I met Mr. Massie. He was quiet and dignified always but had a smile that would light up his whole face. It was always a pleasure to see him at the pool or bump into him around town. My sincere condolences to all of his family, he was a treasure you will miss.
Bob's passing is so very sad. Our condolences to his brothers. He was a lovely neighbor and I enjoyed the chats we had very much. He will be missed on Brook Road South. It was comforting to know he was just a couple houses away, protecting the trees and loving nature.
Sorry to hear of Bob's death. We played together in the Northumberland Orchestra and Bob lived a block away from me , we saw each other now and then , I knew his hip was getting worse. Bob was a good guy.
