JERSEY CITY – It is early May, and the boys are back. Bob’s boys. Some never left.
Bob Hurley rises from his seat for the first time in nearly two hours. He doesn’t want to get up, and it makes sense. His knees are stiff. He shakes them out and makes his way over to a group of his kids. They range in age, some on the precipice of adulthood, some into their fourth decades.
They surround him for a picture inside Jersey City’s Community Education Resource Center, and the ones closest to him, those four or five inches taller, place a hand lovingly on his shoulder.
