I played American Legion baseball with Bob in Williamson Wva, you could not have meet a nicer person. I know he will be missed.

I had the joy of working in a band that backed Bob up for awhile on one of the local casino ships about a year ago. The energy and joy he brought to the stage would have the entire audience wrapped around his finger in about zero flat. His passion to please and make his audience enjoy themselves (which was no small feat seeing as how that audience had just lost their butt at the tables on the ship): that passion and energy seemed limitless.It is said that it is more blessed to give than receive... Bob got that;he gave everything he had every day to every audience he faced and the only thing I regret is that I didn't get to work with him more. But I am thankful to be one of the lucky ones who got to work with him even if only for a short time. I didn't know his wife or kids, but I do thank them for sharing him with the rest of us. You are in my prayers.

Heaven is a happier place with Pizza Bob. My deepest condolences to Kathleen and the boys. I worked on Sterling Casino and Bob was loved by everyone who worked there. Always upbeat and happy. He often showed me pictures of his beloved boys, his pride and joy. He was a true family man. God Bless and keep you Bob. Keep on rockin up there!

I'm still numb thinking about Pizza Bob not being here any longer. His boys and my son were friends and though they moved we still did see each other (not as often). The shock of Bob's passing is incomprehensible. Bob was larger than life, a man who knew no bounds especially when it came to entertaining whether it was a large crowd or a friend stopping by to say hello. Bob had a presences about him. He always made you feel good and happy to be alive. He loved his kids so much and his wife. Kathleen if you need anything at all please let me know. I'm at a loss for words the shock is overwhelming!. I'm so very sorry for this, the loss of a great father, husband and entertainer. Kathleen and boys our hearts go out to you.

I had the pleasure of working with Bob on Sterling for seven years. He always had a smile and sound advice when needed. The most important thing to Bob was his lovely family as he spoke often of them. We will all miss you Bob! Our thoughts and prayers are with your family.

What can you say about a man like Bob that everyone else hasn't said. He was a true angel on earth and working with at the Health Center and watching our patients light up when he sang will never be forgotten. My prayers go out to the many grieving family and friends.

I first encountered "pizza bob" on the sterling casino ship years ago. The first time I saw him perform I was amazed. It was soon after the 9-11 trajedy. He had wrote a song and sang it. He was so talented. My condolensces to his children, wife, and family. RIP Big Bopper!!!

To the Family of Pizza Bob:
I am a fan of Rock Foundation. The first time that I heard them, I went up and introduced myself to Bob and told him that I thought they were the greatest band I have ever heard in the Vero Beach area. He took his valuable time to talk with me and thank me.
I need for you to know from a fan, that we are very blessed to have had the opportunity to be touched by his vocals, his music, his incredible talent. Music is very soothing to the soul and enriches our lives in so many ways. We thank you for sharing him with us and want you to know that he has been an incredible inspiration to so many.
As your children grow, may they be touched by the many stories that will be shared thoughout the coming years and may you all be at peace knowing that he is now in the gentle hands of God. May you go forward in celebration of his birth into Eternal Life, for he has left a legacy of tremendous love here on this earth.
With God's Blessings,
Jim & Linda Baker

Bob started performing at the Duran Golf Club about 6 months ago, for Friday night "Cheeseburger in Viera-dise" parties. He quickly developed a following with his wonderful musical talent, his personality, and his genuine, warm, sincere love of people. Because of that, he will always be remembered. Your fans at Duran will miss you. His family will be in our prayers

Kathleen, you and the boys will be in our prayers. We will never forget him. He was a wonderful man...and such a GREAT entertainer. I am honored to have taught his son VPK. And we are honored to have known him.
The last time we saw him was at a show at the Dog & Bone. He said (loudly) in the microphone...."HEY, THERE'S MISS HEATHER....MY SON'S PRESCHOOL TEACHER". :) He will be missed!!!

As one of many fans of Pizza Bob in Massachusetts, we are truly going to miss him when we head to Florida soon.
He always found the time to stop by and talk to us on his breaks and was such a devoted family man. We always requested Tremont Avenue and will continue to play it in his honor. May God bless his family. He is in God's choir now.

I worked with Pizza Bob while at Sterling Casino Lines. There was no other co-worker that loved his job like he did. Every week he would take his singing & music to another level... Simply passionate about what he did. He will be missed by many of us ex-sterling employees. Godbless his family & loved ones.

I am truly sorry to hear about the passing of Bob. It's very apparent that he was passionate about music and I imagine he felt the same way about his family. He has entertained us for many years at many different venues-most memorable to me is the Blue's Brother's act. He will be missed, but more importantly-he will be remembered by many, many people.

As a bartender on the Sterling Casino Lines for 8 years, I had the honor to become a close friend with Bob . If I wasn't working in the lounge where he sang, he'd come to my bar and have a salad with me where ever I was on the the ship. The crowds followed him. At the Health Center Bob and I met up again with your beautiful son Van. Kathleen... this is a great loss to so many. My heart goes out to you and your four sons. I will hold you closely in my prayers. Mary Guertin

We love you and the boys. Dawn and Nicholas

I am so grateful I got the chance to see Bob the other night at Millikens. As usual we joked and laughed together. His love for you and the boys was always in the conversation too, I loved how he would brag about all of you..it was so awesome! Tremont Avenue totally proves that. Heaven is truly in for a wonderful surprise.
