"My heartfelt condolences to the family. Mr. Young was my very first boss at Broadway National Bank in 1976, 77, and 78. He hired me and gave me every opportunity within the installment loans department to grow, learn, and challenge me. Some of the things I remember about him was his smile, his pipe, and his kindness. Rest In Peace Bob! ??"
In loving memory of
Robert L. Young

Bob was a great Board Member for us at Good Samaritan Home. He would always buy my Oatmeal cake at the Card Party so he could share it with his family. The last time I was back in Quincy, I visited with Bob at the home and we had a wonderful conversation. I am sorry that it will be our last conversation.
