For those of you who knew Bob, and for those who only got the privilege of speaking with him over the phone, you know Bob was an amazing person. He was more than knowledgeable about the industry, and for 19 years we had the honor and pleasure of listening to some incredible stories of his life in the Navy, his adventures as a fireman, and as member of the Piscataway Police Department.

He was our firey Irishman with a passion for Boston Terriers, Harley Davidson, and fishing off his boat.  He was filled with an unforgettable charm and wit that made him, simply put, Murph.

On Friday, January 23, Bob was unable to recover from his battle with cancer.  Our deepest sympathy and heart filled thoughts go out to Bob's family. We will forever miss him and he will always be apart of us.

Please find below the obituary with information on funeral arrangements.
