I know the criteria for Sainthood is to have performed a miracle or some crap like that, if instead one of the criteria was to have had a genuine care and given endless help to the less fortunate in the community, Fr Bob would be a Saint.In later years he became a bit gullible, easily led by those with less than genuine intent trying to use his profile for their own benefit.
An aside, I know someone who was engaged to drive him around a bit, he loved a chat, too much, so much so they had trouble getting him out of the car to go to his appointments. Whenever the car stopped he'd start chatting to people on the side of the road, they would move to him like moths to a flame, but he always treated people with care and respect whether they looked like bums or billionaires. btw., Fr Bob would not call a bum a bum, the only person he might call a bum would be a nefarious corporate type he caught taking advantage of the downtrodden, and even then it would take some provocation because he lived the creed of forgive and forget, he was always willing to give everyone a chance to make amends.
