Griffin Robert E. Bob was an active and popular classmate. Here is a memory of Bob from Bill Banach: 'We not only graduated from St. Joe's together, but served   our apprenticeship   together   as electricians. Occasionally I worked with Bob. I was with Bob when we celebrated our 61st high School reunion. The very next
week I was also with him as we received our 60-year pin as Local   38 electricians. Bob was a good friend and good electrician.  I will miss him. R.I.P.'

Dave Pfriem remembers him as generous and easy to talk to.
