My sympathy goes out to the family. I am a childhood friend of Bobby's. We actually were the best of friends for a lot of years, when he and his family lived on Garfield Ave. in Providence. We did everything together including a lot of sports like street hockey, basket ball and football across the street at Green(thats the school across the street were we lived) we also got into trouble a few times...I believe the last time i saw Bobby and parents was at Joanies wedding, well anyway both he and his family are in my thoughts and prayers...Scott

I'd like to join Brooke in saying thankyou to everybody for their love and support through this very tough time in our lives especially are family and friends. We lost a very loving,funny,accepting,and extremely strong dad. I miss just talking to him already but I'm glad he's finally at peace as premature as it is. We loved him and he loved us and we were lucky to have him for 23yrs and 20yrs. Dad I love you I miss you and can't wait to see you again.

Thank you all very much.

Dad, I still can't believe your gone physically, I miss you so much. I miss your smile I miss just relaxing with you, all I want is a hug. You were such a strong person, stronger than I could ever be, right up until the end.You were one of my best friends Dad, how many people can honestly say that? You were the best, funny, accepting, loving. I have you to thank for me being who I am today especially with turning my life around for the better, you never stopped believing in me even at my worst and I think you're the only one. Your support for me was greater than I ever could have asked for. I wish we had more time together Daddy I really do, but I know I'll be with you when I pass; that and knowing you're watching over me are the only comforts I have in this. My heart is broken. You were my everything. I love you Dad.

Uncle Bob- you are an amazing man. I know you'll still be here in spirit for all the Bruins & Pats games this season. I will get some Wings to Go in your honor. And I'll go National Liquidators and stand in line for 32 hours and laugh to myself because I know you'd be laughing at me, too. We'll miss your jokes and crazy antics. Watch over us. We love you. <3

Bobby & Brooke. I am so sorry about your Dad. Your Dad was very proud of "his boy" and "little girl". You both made him very proud and he and your Mom did a great job raising two beautiful, well rounded, loving adults. He will be missed and not forgotten for his wit and joy of life. I love you both very much and I'm sorry for the pain you feel. Call anytime.

Love, Sue.
