OUR FOUNDERS Bob and Susan McCreary
20+ years of bringing music to the community
by Sherry Hamilton Gloucester Mathews Gazette Journal 3/21/23
Susan McCreary and her husband Bob (who passed away on March 23, 2023) recently shared their memories of the early days of Concerts by the Bay, the organization they founded in 2001.
Bob and Susan McCreary founded Concerts by the Bay together in 2001, then spent over 20 exciting years bringing music and entertainment to Gloucester and Mathews.The couple recently stepped down as leaders of the organization after having led it through ups and downs with grace and kindness and sure hands, knowing that they were leaving it in good hands.
Just two short weeks ago, Bob passed away, but not before he and Susan and their fellow board members shared memories of their longtime collaboration. Bob’s illness had not robbed him of his warmth and charm and dignity, and his recollections were integral to the interview.
