Deb, Jen, Dave and Vaughn: I have great memories of my cousin Bobby (talking baseball, especially). He was even kind enough to come out of retirement to catch a game for my over 30 baseball team, the Worcester Monarchs. I always looked forward to seeing him. Rita and I had the best wedding rehearsal dinner ever, at Garbo’s, with Bobby as a special host. Rest in Peace, Bobby; see you on the other side…. catching, and batting third.

Dear Jen and Dave,
I’m so sorry for your loss. Justin and I have you and your family in our prayers.
One of my favorite memories is of the time the three of us rode down to the Cape with your dad, the four of us in his truck. It was one of my first times driving down, and your dad was explaining how the Cape was technically an island, and telling me how exciting it was to drive over the huge bridge. And then every time we drove over an overpass- even the tiny ones- you and Dave would say “Jode, that was it!! What did you think??” and I was like “Really?! That was awesome!” And your dad would just smile. He must have thought it was so funny that an 11 year old had never been over the bridge before- but never once made me feel bad that I was so gullible Now every time we drive to the Cape I think of Bob LaFrance. I actually kind of think of think of it as ‘his’ bridge. (And he’d think it was even funnier that it wasn’t until college that I realized there’s more than one!)
You both are such special people. He must be so prooud. Love to both of you.
xoxo
Jode

NHS Class of 68, I remember Bob from the halls of Natick High: handsome, friendly, tuned in to people on more levels than some of the guys. I spoke with him at the reunion in 2008, and it was obvious he had remained a good person with a great heart.

Dad, you started every conversation with “Hey Kiddo” and always ended with “I love you”. I could call you about anything and you always knew the answer. Politics, cooking, a broken dishwasher, how to make the grass grow. I could hum two notes to any song to you and you would name the artist and title and then proceed to sing the entire song. You couldn’t get enough news and would educate yourself on both sides of any topic. Don’t worry Dad, I knew you were always “right”. You were my human encyclopedia. When you moved to Florida, you thought it was so funny to call me on the mornings when Boston was below freezing. You would tell me how beautiful the water looked and how sunny it was. I’m happy you got to move to Florida and have these years. You always loved being near the ocean. Most of all I will miss your humor. You were so funny Dad and you appreciated funny people and a great story. As a kid, I thought you were a rockstar and always thought you were so handsome. You introduced Bruce Springsteen to me way before others knew him and bought me my first U2 record when nobody had heard of them. I’ll remember when you, Deb and I went to see the Stones at Fenway. You never sat down once and sang every song. You kept saying “Jen, look at Mick Jaggar, your Dad could do that!” When Ted and I came down to visit you, I remember my cousin Matt saying to Ted how much he will “love Bobby. You can’t not like Bobby.” When you and Ted got to spend time together, I was so happy you were my father. You were so accepting of others and you made me feel so special…I know that you were so proud of me not just because you told me but because I felt it. You lived for the moment but you made me feel like anything is possible and to realize it is a very big world. You were so brave in the end and never ever complained about your health once. I love you Dad. You will live in my heart forever. I’m happy that God picked you to be my father. Be at peace now. Heaven is playing Margaritaville xoxo

Although we only saw Bob once a year we considered him a good friend and so enjoyed our “discussions” about the world in general, Bob taught us many things about America but he also had great knowledge of Europe and of course the UK. He was just a great guy easy to talk to we will miss him a lot. Nobody to answer all those political questions!!! Our last memeory of him is a lovely happy one, keeping with tradition we had a meal out together on our last night in Florida. Bob Suzzanne and us in the sun at the Tikki Bar having fun and somebody singing “God Bless America” as we walked to the car park. The memory will remain with us take care God Bless.

Can’t believe we won’t see Bob at our house talking sports, politics’ and playing blackjack. Play dates for Squirt and Chloe with Squirt running around our pool and Bob laughing. Karaoke at the Elks. He was so much fun, so brave and so beloved. We will miss you so. God Bless.

Bob was one of my oldest and dearest friends. He will be missed dearly by many that knew him. It is hard to believe that no longer will he call to talk about the Red Sox or Patriots or call my wife to talk politics. One of my fondest memories is when I first met him when he and George Reebe walked onto the baseball field to try out for Franklin Sports of the Boston Park League at Cleveland playground 42 years ago.
