Memorial Day is our most important holiday. Here's why....
Julie, I love the pictures and story about Bob. I love seeing him on my way to work; it’s that smile – it’s contagious! He’s a Metuchen treasure. -Mary Kay
I just love Bob! I sooooooo look forward to walking to school every day with Greg, partly just so I get to see Bob!
I had to come back and find this entry now that I see Bob every school day. We don’t walk that way, but it would take a half hour to drive out of Talmadge onto Main if he didn’t lend a hand and do a little traffic directing along with with his protecting the walkers. And always, as you said, with a smile.
Hey, thanks for the reminder Mary. Bob is doing a walk for cancer research and I wanted to ask people to contribute. Maybe I’ll sneak some new pictures on the blog. Thanks thanks thanks!
<——big-Bob-smile!
Julie,
Bob now has Fans in Florida!
When you and Bob gave permission to use your one of the Photos I was able to make a Keynote/PowerPoint slide for my presentation for Florida Community Association for Community Action this past week.
After I showed my Keynote/PowerPoint slide and and we also viewed your blog with Bob’s image they took time to send thank you postcards to Bob.
These postcards are very sweet. These dedicated folks, many who work for Head Start and other non-profits appreciate people with kind eyes and joyful smiles. I can’t wait to send them for you guys to see them.
We are associated by the company we keep.
Bob will be thrilled to get these postcards, Lisa! What a cool idea! Can you reply with a link to your blog post about Bob please?
Julie,
Thank you for all your help with this project. If you had not been so generous this lovely chain would not have begun.
Sincerely,
Lisa
BOB ROCKS! There is no brighter smile on the planet and no kinder heart in town! We love you!
I had to come to this post on Thanksgiving. You make Metuchen a brighter place, Bob. I’m thankful for you, just as Julie is.
Bob’s one of the nicest people we’ve ever met and we’re so lucky to have him as a neighbor.
It’s ironic that he’s seen so much with a STOP sign in town when he’s always on the GO!
(…but Bob’s smile is really his GO sign!)
Great pictures (as always),
Scott & Gail
Metuchen
What a touching tribute! That smile is brilliant!
You got me teary, too! What a great example of humble and joyful servanthood! God bless him, and you for recognizing how special he is!
That last shot is awesome! What a great smile
This is an awesome post. I see what you mean the effect even showed in the pictures
Wow Jules, I’m teary. It is wonderful when people have that attitude in everything they do, and it certainly makes a difference to so many people.
What an awesome man…I love Bob! I don’t even know or ever see Bob…but I love the effect he has on others. This is a wonderful blog post. Thanks, Jules

My daughter just came in my office while I was reading this post and shouted, “Mister Bobby!!!” She went on to tell me how nice he is and how she, her brothers and her Mom always make sure to say, “hi” to him because he’s “the best”. Thanks Bob!
I think he needs a smiley, “Have a Metuchen Day!” T-shirt.
