Prayers you and your family ❤

I’m so sad that you’re gone.
You were one of the sweetest, kindest, and you were a funny guy.
I’ll miss our conversations.
I had the pleasure of being his barber for many years.
He loved his family.
I hope that he and your mom are dancing in heaven.
He talked about all of you.
My condolences to you all.

In life you can do no better than being able to come across the best people. Bob was that person. Welcomed a boy from the city along with Helen they were the type of couple I would want to aspire to be. Bobby, Michael. Lisa. Your dad was so great to a ton of people. I will always remember the way he always seemed to say "anywho."

Dear Michael, Bobby and Lisa. We are sad to hear of Uncle Bob’s passing. We pray that God helps heal your hearts, and brings you comfort knowing he is in Heaven with Aunt Helen. Uncle Bob will be surely missed by many. God bless you and your families.

Robert was a wonderful man and our neighbor for 18 years. We have fond memories of spending time with him for dinner at our house, or just hanging out at his house or on the beautiful patio he created. Our daughter thought of him as her grandpa. She enjoyed cooking homemade ravioli and other goodies with him and Helen. She even played bocce with him when Helen couldn’t. We will miss Bob’s sense of humor, warmth and friendship! Until we meet again, enjoy being reunited with your beloved wife,...

I'm so sorry for your loss. I met him several times at different family functions and he was always such a sweetheart. I am out of town and will not be able to celebrate his life with you but, my thoughts and prayers are with you all.

my deepest sympathy to all you,he was such a gentle soul and he loved your mom with his whole hear and soul. remember him as the wonderful caring dad,and grandpa,his spirit lives on in all of you. May God bless you all with the strength and courage to continue living your lives just as he would have wanted to to. Sylvia DiBarto
