Bob, was a wonderful person. I have fond memories of him while growing up in Wilkinsburg. He was always so kind to my family. He would make us cherry cokes at his drug store in Wilkinsburg. Rest In Peace Bob. My sincere sympathy to his family.

My Mom, Agnes Odorisio, was a grade school classmate of your Dad. She spoke so often of him and your dear Mom. She told me that once my parents and your parents attended a grade school class reunion together. My Mom passed in 2009. My deepest sympathy, Maria (Odorisio) Antoszewski.

To my dear cousins,
I feel so bad about the loss of Uncle Bob, and that you have lost both parents in such a short period of time. I feel so truly blessed that I have gotten to be so close to him...and to all of you. In the time I've spent with him recently, he constantly spoke of the good life he had and how proud he was of all of you. I'll never forget my first visit to the hospital when he smiled when he saw me (I was glad of that), but he really lit up when he saw the bakery box in my hand! His first words were "let's see what you have in that box!"--a Botzer through and through! He was a man of great faith and is now in a much better place, reunited with your mom...and my mom, Uncle Bill, Grandma, Mookie and all the other relatives he spoke of so much. I'm so sorry you've had to go through this twice in such a short period of time. I'm glad we have all been so close as well. I love you all!
