Bob also was an extraordinarily proud and loving grandfather of five beautiful children: Charlotte and Evelyn; Hazel and Remington; and Claire.  He also leaves his sister Betsy and brother Tom, who both loved and admired their little brother. He will be missed by nieces and nephews in Massachusetts, Rhode Island and Colorado and by his many friends in Ridgefield, Connecticut."
