To Mrs. DeLorenzo,Will and Grace,

I cannot tell you how surprise I was tonite when I heard the priest at St Monica referring to Rob DeLorenzo who recently passed away. I rushed home to check facebook to confirm it was the Rob I knew. I met him at BB Harris Elementary school where Grace and Will attended and saw him many times at St Patrick then St Monica. He was a very nice person and a loving father.
I am very sorry to hear about your loss. May God help you get through this difficult time. God bless you and the children.

We lost touch for a while then I saw you delivering newspapers at Sugarloaf when I was working overnights. I know you're in the good place. Gonna miss you man... to the family, know that he is one of the good ones... godspeed

Rob was always one of my favorite people at St. Patrick Church in Norcross. He was sweet kind and such a gentleman to all who encountered him. Getting to know him during my time in GA was and always will be a blessing to me and my family. May you and your family be comforted during this difficult time with God's grace and peace. I will keep you all in my prayers during this most difficult time.

To the DELORENZO Family (Little Italy, Twinkle Toe, & The Great Willy D)...My prayers go out to you guys. You have Always been a bright spot in my life since joining the Duluth Family. The many laughs and memories will Never be forgotten. Although this is a difficult time for you, you have to be strong for Rob's sake. Just hold onto the good times that he left with you while on this side. It's not our place to question GOD, but do know that he's in a better place now...one where there'll be no more sorrow, no more heartaches, no more tears or worries, but an abundance of Sunshine and Joy! And even though he's gone home to rest he will FOREVER be smiling down upon you. Love you guys dearly!!
