Robert A. Petrin DMD

My family lived across the street from Bob's office.  My dad, Mr Rheault, did all the handyman work Bob needed done, whether it was at the office or his beloved cottage at Fortunes Rocks.  Sometimes we were lucky enough to go along and play in the beach sand when my dad would take the storm windows off the cottage.  Bob always treated us like we were part of his family.  Whenever I went into the office after my folks passed, he would always start off the conversation by asking if I had been over to see my folks.  He would then tell me he had stopped in to see them and they hadn't changed a bit and then he'd kiss my forehead.  He would always make me laugh.  I really hated to see him retire since he was the only dentist I had ever been to.  My condolences to all of his children and grandchildren.  He was loved by many and will be missed by all.  
 

Bob always sang to my kids and referred to my Aunt Doris as that old witch The Wards and the Rowlands were better people after having Bob in our lives,fun bright just a wonderful human being will be missed

How many people can say they had entertainment when they went to have dental work!!  We have fond memories of being sung to while having our teeth cleaned. Dr. Petrin knew the entire family and that made it special..Our thoughts and prayers are with all of you during this most difficult time.

I send my deepest condolences to the whole Petrin family. No matter where I saw Dr. Petrin, at his dentist practice or on Fortunes Rocks beach, he always greeted me with a warm smile, a funny remark, and a genuine question of how my family was doing. May all the wonderful memories you have of him help you get through this difficult time. My thoughts and prayers are with you. God Bless!

My deepest sympathies and prayers are with you and your family. Your Dad was a great guy. Every week I would see him at Market Basket.He would give me a big hug and asked how everyone  was doing.. Whenever I wouldn't see him for awhile I would call and check on him. I have known him for a long time he was a dear friend and  dentist. I will miss him
