you have my deepest sympathy. robert your father is not lost, because when you loose something you don't know where it is. that's why the bible teaches us to be absent from the body is to be present with the lord,and that's where your dad is resting safely & peacefully free from all hurt,harm,danger, most of all pain, and sickness ! God bless you & your family !

My deepest sympathies and prayers go out to the Celentano Family at this very sad time. Although I worked with Bob only a short time, he always brought a smile to my face when he spoke about the " old days". Bob used to joke that we were "old school" and took great pride in that fact, as did I. He was a constant reminder that we must cherish the past and make those wonderful memories with our family. Bob will be greatly missed here at East Coast.

Dear Mr. C,
Thank you for the many years of putting up with my nonsense- including decorating your home with all of Farmindale's lawn ornaments (and toilet paper), lending us your kitchen and dining room for the end of the season dinners and leaving numerous phone messages during football and basketball season even though I knew Mrs. C was at cards! I also thank you for your wonderful and inspirational marriage of which Mrs. C would share stories of and offer advice during those long bus rides! I sincerely thank you for your time.
To the entire Celentano family, my thoughts and prayers are with you.
