My dear relatives.

I would just like to close my feelings about my Uncle Bob by saying that I will always remember this wonderful man and how great an Uncle he was. I will never forget our family reunions and what a fine celebration they were. I can still see Uncle Bob with this huge copper pot making our polenta dinner lol. Bob was always full of laughter and making jokes to entertain us as only he knew how. I always loved this man who was so kind to all of us and I could tell stories about him and go on and on. Farewell Uncle Bob, you certainly helped to make my childhood a very happy one and I always was so proud to have you as my Uncle.

To all my beloved relatives.

I was so sorry to learn of the death of my Uncle Bob Codogni. He was the nicest uncle a relative could ever have. I will always treasure and remember him and the times I spent hunting with him when I was a teenager. I wish that I had been able to see more of him, but, when I moved to Florida that became impossible. You were the best Uncle Bob and I share your sorrow with you Auntie Rose, god bless you. uncle Bob, you were always so wonderful to me and for that you will always be in my heart and thoughts.

Dear Kathy and family,

Bob was one of my favorite people at the Glassine mill. He would take a time out and visit us up in the lab for a few hearty laughs. It was a place he could come to forget the rigors of keeping an old mill running for a second or two. May he rest in peace. I know what you've gone through with Alzheimer's. Hope your warm memories of him keep you going through the next few months and beyond.
