Posted on May 31, 2013 | 17 Comments

Bob Lasprogato — Westport’s very popular Republican registrar of voters, justice of the peace, former 3rd selectman, Westport Community Theatre actor, Sunrise Rotary volunteer, and famed jazz musician — has been hospitalized for nearly 2 weeks.

His condition is extremely critical.

The thoughts and prayers of our entire town are with his family.

    I am fortunate to share jazz, drumming and the Westport Community Theatre with Bob. Bunni and I send good, healthy karma from down here to up there. Our
    thoughts are with Bob and Joan.

    I am really stunned to hear this. I thought I just saw him a few days ago wave to me from his car when I was walking. I’ll reach out to Joan. Our thoughts are with his family.

    Dear Bob….what a shocker of news! Our prayers go up for your return to health. You have done wonders for our community and we need you. Joan is also on that prayer list. Please do well my friend.

    I Knew Bob for 50 years. Got him his first job in radio (early 60s).Great guy.Ironicaly I went to work for him at WREF in the 80s. Just saw Bob and Joan May 5 at the American Legion, as we honored his uncle Art. Wew planned to have lunch and talk about the old days. Joan so sorry to hear this. If you have time give me a call.

    What sad news. As a radio consultant, I worked with him at WREF for a while, and found him to be a true gentleman as well as a very knowledgeable broadcaster.

    Bob has touched so many lives and been a friend to so many people in so many different areas that except for Joan, no one of us may yet appreciate the full scope of the life he continued to create with his tireless energy. Our prayers are with Bob, Joan, and their family.

    This is sad news indeed. I have known and worked with Bob both in radio and jazz recording sessions for over 40 years. A true gentleman and exceptional talent. My prayers are with Bob, Joan, and his family.

    Let’s all simply pray for Bob and Joan.
