We want to let everyone know that Bob Foltin passed away unexpectedly several days ago.
Bob was always very conspicuous by his unique appearance and was very appreciative of everyone's
friendship. He played in the CSBL for more than 20 years and was always ready to be of assistance
whenever a player would run into hard times and whenever there would be some type of league fund
raiser or function.
A memorial service for Bob will be held at 10 am The Good Shephard Lutheran Church510 Albany Shaker Road,
Albany, 518-458-1562 on Saturday, August 1.
