Bob Foglietta was a great guy in my class of 1968. I never saw Bob again after High School and I am so sorry I didn't. My memories of Bob are a funny, kind, warm, considerate guy who would give you the shirt off of his back. Bob your going to be missed.
My condolences to Bob's Family and Friends.

I remember Bob's star performance in Brigadoon at LHS and times spent singing in Chorus and Men's Chorus with "Mama" Maifeld. A talented and pleasant guy.

From time to time I would run into Bob at the 99 here in Lynnfield. He always had something positive to say and a smile on his face. He was a genuinely nice guy with tremendous artistic talent.

Bob lived not far from me and we got to know each other initially at the bus stop. I still remember our excited conversation in 1965 when Joh Havlicek "stole the ball". We went on to sing in three groups together. He was quite a guy....tremendous artistic talent and always positive. Saw him once in Boston years later. Deepest sympathy to his family and friends....he died too early and will be missed.

So much can be said about Robert. Our friendship goes back to elementary school. He was so talented in music and art. His smile would light up the room. Always enjoyed his company.Nan Hockenbury
Bob and I connected on our first day at the Art Institute of Boston. Needless to say, we were surprised and excited to see each other and formed a lasting bond. He was kind, supportive, funny, and a great side kick. After the first year at AIB he enrolled in Mass Art and I married. We ran in to each other years later when he was working at the MFA. He was just as I remembered him, a lovely soul.
