Not sure what to say?

Love to my sister and her family. We will miss and love Bob forever and we are heartbroken. All our love,Theresa,John and family

My thoughts and prayers are with the Facciolla family. I had the great fortune of working with Bob at AlliedSignal. He was and remains a role model for me with his keen intelligence and professionalism. Bob was the ultimate gentleman - a man with class! He is leaving a wonderful legacy to his family and all who know him.

My condolences to the Facciolla family, Bob was such a great person to talk with and work with when traveling to L3. This great guy will be sorely missed.

My condolences to the Facciolla Family. I had the pleasure of working with Bob as his customer for more than 15 years. I will always remember Bob as a brillant, articulate man with incredible patience & poise in educating my Boeing / ULA Team and our customers on the very complex RIFCA System. Bob was a joy to work with. I will greatly miss a good friend!

We have all been blessed by knowing and being with Bob. HIs combination of intelligence, diplomacy, people skills, kindness, and calmness were unsurpassed in his role of supporting L-3, United Launch Alliance, and the U.S. Government. His legacy includes not only his family, but over 135 successful space launches. His knowledge of laser gyros, microprocessors, memory, electronics, and the entire RIFCA system will be missed. Even more, his kind personality will be missed.
Thanks for...

My condolences to the Facciolla family, Bob was truly a gentleman and a professional. Rest in peace Bob.

I had the pleasure of working with Bob for many years. He was so brilliant in his work and very enjoyable to work with. He was also so fun to talk to about life in general. I will always remember how calm he was, even when there were tense topics and people around him. He will always be missed.

Love to my sister and her family at this difficult time. Bob, you will always be in our hearts xoxo

Deepest sympathies to Bob's family at this difficult time, Bob was a true professional at L-3 and has been a pleasure to work with.
