Re: Loss of a 369 Mentor

This is the side of Grady's robot at the SBPLI Long Island Regional.
It's sad to lose such a man to a tragic accident after winning his battle with cancer.

Re: Loss of a 369 Mentor

Having lost a mentor of my own, I give my condolences. There are no words that can describe such a loss. I'm sure he's proud of all you've done this weekend and how you dealt with his loss. I wish you all the best as you finish your year.

Re: Loss of a 369 Mentor

Please accept our condolences from Team 1322. It is so hard to lose a cherished member of our extended family. One week ago while at competition our head mentor lost his Mom. It makes it difficult to continue but go out and make him proud. Again, I am truly sorry for your loss.

Re: Loss of a 369 Mentor

On behalf of team 228, I would like to extend our condolences to the family, friends, and team mates of Mr. Boffa. It is an incredible loss to the entire community when a caring and dedicated mentor's work is cut short.
