Bob owned Bryant School Supply in West Springfield, along with stores in West Hartford and Hamden, Ct. He loved sailing, history and poetry and could recite many poems. He and his wife Audrey traveled to many countries all over the world. He would tell his wife that he would spin the globe and she could place her finger on a spot and that is where they would go.
