[Fredslist] Bob Formica-Rest in Peace!

[Kelly Welles]

Bob Formica was one of a kind. He touched our hearts and brought us to tears with his infectious wit. He always had a sparkle in his eye. No wonder he was the Gotham Networker of the Decade. He was the soul of wit. A friend to all. The personification of the Gotham spirit. 
Thank you Bob.  Heaven has a new angel.

Bob was an inspiration to so many of us and in so many ways.  Truth be
told, I am sure he never really understood the impact he had on so many
people.

I know for myself, I will be giving thanks tomorrow for having known Bob
and having had the privilege of learning from him about how to approach
life with a smile, regardless of adversity.

We will miss Bob but never forget him.

It is with great sadness that I inform that Bob Formica, our Networker of
the Decade in 2007 and Chairman of our Formica I and Lefty Groups, passed
away peacefully last night.

If you knew him, you loved him. He was so cheerful and strong despite his
multiple and ever increasing infirmities.

He was my banker and inspired my comment "service obsessed". An original
member, Bob grew and thrived in lock step with Gotham.

At the risk of being sacreligious I dubbed him "Saint Formica" and now he
has been called home.

Rest in peace my dear friend!
