    My deepest sympathy to the entire Hollett Family. Bob was a great guy. Much to young to leave this world. May God comfort you all in your difficult and sad season. May his spirit soar. XO

    I have not seen or talked to Bob in a very long time. However, I feel very saddened to hear of his passing. Bob was a grade ahead of me in school and he was one of the nicest boys who attended St. George's High School. He was quiet and charming and he brought out the best in people. I knew his sisters, Margo and Judy, who were more outgoing than Bob but were equally as nice. To Bob's immediate family, Judy, Margo and all of his family, I offer my most sincere condolences. Cherish your precious memories. God bless

    Dear Cousins, Our sincerest sympathies to Bob's Family as you gather today to celebrate Bob's life. His passing will leave a big ache in many hearts but his memory will do much to dull that ache. I was just remembering this morning the times when Uncle Mac and Aunt Floss would load up the motorboat with kids and come across the arm to Norman's Cove for a Sunday visit - the good old days when, as kids, we didn't have a care in the world. Love to all. ---Cousins, Rick and Irene Temple
