Still can not believe you are gone. You were such an important person and memories in my life. I think of you every day, especially in the kitchen and always still use the beautiful cutting board you made me. I know you are cooking for everyone in heaven....just found out I will see you sooner rather than later Bubba!

It is nice to be able to share a memory of a friend that is missed and was such a big part of our parish community for so many years. I remember Robert always smiling and trying to convince people about the advantage of buying the grocery certificates. I know it must have been frustrating at times, but I would watch him just smile back to the parishioner that had declined . He didnt show anything but a smile . I thought that would be a hard fundraiser to do for so many years. Obviously, he had his passions and remained true to them. He would always do a lot of cooking at the church cookouts and helped with the beautiful Stations of the Cross out behind Holy Family. He gave so much of his life freely to the church through his time, his gifts and his talents.
I miss his animal emails and funnies! He knew he had many different friends that were all different , but I liked the animals and clean humor. Now , I must say that has been a void , since Roberts passing. I have missed his funny emails and the chuckles I would get from them. After he was gone I realized he was my email humor that was now also gone.
I miss him , but I know he is with Jesus and he is good. One day , we will all see each other again, but Robert would want people to live life. He didnt let life pass him by. He lived and loved life with a spiritual energy that not many people have, especially at his age. Robert was ageless!
So God bless you, Dear Robert!
May God bless your lovely wife and family with lots of loving memories and happy thoughts of all of the good times you all shared.
Peace and Love,
Debi Greenfield

Robert will be missed greatly. He was a long time adorant at Holy Family Catholic church and always devoted to help in many ministries at Holy Family. Many of us remember his cheerful smile, encouraging the sales of Giant Food gift cards, as a fundraiser for our church. That was
something he chaired for many years! He was a good and kind man, with a deep faith and a charitable heart.
I'm sure heaven will be a little happier now that Robert's there to add more laughter!
May God bless his lovely soul with peace, joy and love and comfort his family and friends during this difficult time.
Sincerely,
Debi Greenfield

To the Carobrese Family
I am sorry to hear about the death of Bob I have known him a few years through Harlan Ray. I did mulching at his home and a couple of cooking events I helped him with. I also did mulching at Patty's house. He will be always remembered as a great person.
