The Tozzi's lived next to Bob and his family for virtually all of the time we lived in Waynesburg. We visited with Bob during my last trip to attend a SV Class of 1956 reunion. Bob as usual was always in the best of spirits and always positive on life in general. It does not get any better than spending time with Bob.

Mr Serafini's late daughter, Carol, was a great friend of mine. She would often tell me what a wonderful guy he was; and, once I got to know him, she was right. I respected both him and his late wife, as they were always so kind and caring toward me. God bless him and all of those who crossed his path on this journey.
