Peace and love to Andrea, to Rob's beautiful sons, to his whole extended family and to all his friends. We all will surely miss him. I can't even fathom it at times. I am so sad to think of such an untimely death. I've known Robbie since grade school, and even then he was quite the witty wise-cracker. He had a good heart and a good soul and was a loving family man. A really nice guy, as all of us who knew him can attest. Please accept my sincerest condolences and prayers. God bless you.

We know that this is a difficult time for all of you and have been praying for our Lord to blanket you with his love and give you peace and comfort.

I was so sad when I heard the news about Bob. I had the pleasure of working with him over the past 5 1/2 years at Honeywell (then B/E). He always had a way of making me laugh even when I was having a bad day. I hope that when he needed it that I was able to return the favor. He was a very sweet man and I thoroughly enjoyed working with him. I pray that his family may be comforted at this time and have some peace. There are many who loved and will miss him.

Our thoughts and prayers are with Bob's wife and children right now...we worked with Bob for many years, even when things might have been tense business-wise Bob could make it a little less stressful. His wonderful sense of humor and constant smile always made it impossible NOT to smile in return. We will miss you, Bob...

I was so shocked to hear of Bob's passing. All of us who worked with him over the years enjoyed his humor, knowledge and dedication to his job. He made us laugh too many times to count. All of us at the Tempe site will miss him terribly. Our prayers are with you and your family at this very sad time.

What a crazy, funny, beautiful man was my Italian friend Bob. I have worked with Bob for many years as I work at Boeing Company. I had the pleasure of meeting him face to face in Arizona and also seeing him when he came to California on business trips or to see his good friend Carl Ketland. Bobby always talked about his children, and would e mail me current pictures as they grew. I had the pleasure of meeting his oldest son in California a couple of years ago. What a handsome man...just like his Daddy. Bob always made me laugh and smile. As I am 1/2 Italian, you can imagine the fun we had with Italian jokes, sayings and songs. To his family I send my deepest regrets. I pray that the LORD will give you peace and comfort during this time and in the years to come. Please know that while he was with us or talking to us on the phone at the Boeing Company, he was always well respected. Bob always went that extra mile. I will miss you Bob and will always be very glad that I had you in my life.
