Remembrances
From the 'Wall of Faces" website
Bobby was a great guy - truly unique. I remenber the all nighters we (Bob, Jack Crowley and I) pulled cramming for tests at his Brookine apartment.
I recall he had a much younger brother for whom he had good deal of affection.
Rich DiPietro
Bob was originally listed as MIA on 05 Sept 70, but in reality he was KIA that day - a little over two years after graduation. Bob was piloting a forward observer aircraft when he was shot down and his plane was seen plummeting into triple canopy jungle, no parchute observed or beeper detected. Rich (Cheech) DiPietro - a veteran pilot himself - is 100% correct - Bobby was a great guy and we had a lot of enjoyable days at BC talking about our futures after military service. I still miss him and was very proud that he chose to become a flyer for his country.
