Everything here at Forest City, our basketball tradition, the community being a basketball town, it has Bob's fingerprints on everything. We have a plaque outside the gym for him that recognized his 600th win. He built this program into what it is. I doubt he will ever be forgotten here.

I think they were shocked that he left, and it took a while for them to get over that.

I think that refocused the guys a little bit. It got them back in the mindset not to take anything for granted.

Royal Oak seems to be a city of animal lovers. It's ingrained in this town.

Out of this meeting, birthed the idea of doing a town forest project.

Tradition does not mean a dead town; it does not mean that the living are dead but that the dead are alive. It means that it still matters what Penn did two hundred years ago or what Franklin did a hundred years ago; I never could feel in New York that it mattered what anybody did an hour ago.
