By Guest Writer | April 22, 2016

Watertown Recreation Director Peter Centola sent out the following tribute to Bob Galante, director of the Camp Pequossette summer program, who died on April 19, 2016 at the age of 39. I realize many of you may have heard the tragic news of Bob Galante’s passing earlier this week, but I just wanted to make sure each of you knew about the services today and Saturday and a little more about his history with the Watertown Recreation Department and Camp Pequossette. Bob has led a life of service to our community since his early teen ages up until his passing. Those of you might know him from his coaching days at Pop Warner Football, others his Kids and Common program and of course his outstanding contributions to the Lowell School. Bob begin his service to the Watertown Community through the Recreation Department as early as 1989 when he was hired as a Counselor In Training for Camp Pequossette.
