Good morning Back Bay, passing on the details for Bob Sweeny's celebration of life in Newport, November 9th 

Please feel free to share with anyone you like.

Good evening, got your names from an old email Bobby sent out from a past Catalina rugby fest weekend.  Wanted to share this invite with you all, in hopes you are able to make his Celebration of Life ceremony in a few weeks.  This will be a final send off for the man we all knew and loved and who epitomized the sport near and dear to our hearts.   I am sure I am missing a lot of Bobby’s rugby friends (he knew pretty much everyone that played rugby), so please share with anyone that is not on this chain, that knew Bobby and would like to celebrate his life with us.

Bob left us doing exactly what he loved — playing the game that shaped his life and spirit.
At 67, he was still charging down the field, smiling, laughing, and proving that legends never really slow down.

We’ll honor him the way he’d want: with stories, laughter, and a few pints among friends.

Dress casual — no suits required.

  • 1:00 PM – Gathering & Welcome  (Bag Pipes to play)

Forever part of the team,
The Sweeney Family, Friends, Teammates & Rugby Brothers
