  • Sue, Dylan,

    I can’t tell you how shocked and sad I was when I heard. I am so sorry. I really enjoyed Bob’s company and sense of humor. Few years back we were all at your house for a party, his retirement party I think. We got a little nonsensical. I told Bob. I dig his calm, cool demeanor. He said “Yeh, I know, its cool”! We were they only one’s laughing. But, ever since then he or I would arrive at a neighborhood cookout, crab feast, pool party or happy hour. I’d say “How’s it goin, cat”? His reply “Calm and Cool Burt”! I will miss him.

    God bless the Young family,

    Sincerely,

  • We were deeply saddened to learn of Bob’s passing, Sue. How fortunate we are to have the fond memories of fun times with him to cherish. Know that we will always be here for you and Dylan.

  • To the Young Family, I am so sorry for your loss. As a Builder, I had the opportunity to have Bob as an inspector for many years. Bob was such a nice guy and always so willing to help out with questions or issues. I was sad to hear of his passing. My best to the family.
