Dear Mrs. DeSalvo,
I was so sorry to hear about Bobby. I will always remember how handsome and how wonderful he was to me since I was a very small child going to the Christmas parties down the South End Italian Club! Those thoughts of Bobby can only make me smile when I think of him. He was loved dearly and will be missed deeply. Susan, Roberta, Carl & Robbie , you are all in my thoughts as well. God Bless.

I'm sorry about your loss. From Mike Ventresca's description of him, he sounded like he was a remarkable man. I won't be able to attend the services as I'll be on vacation but I'll say a few prayers for him.
