Not sure what to say?

I miss your Mom and I miss hearing about you from her. Amy is awesome. She has a great support in Mike, but she will always miss having you in her life now. You were loved by all who knew you, Bob. I always considered you a real Renaissance man, with your many interests and talents. Rest in peace sweet man. Friend Joyce

Wow, I just read your obituary today. I remember our last conversation and despite the failure of the treatments you remained optimistic and upbeat. I have known you since 1993 here in NYC and we had a lot of good times that I will cherish. I am a better to have known you. Rest in peace my friend, I love you and am proud of your accomplishments.

Bob, you brought a special light to this world, just as you are already doing in the next. We love you and will never forget you.

Bob Amaro at the STARCK Club 1985

To the Amaro family, unfortunately I only met Bob in 2011 but I immediately felt like I knew him forever. His humor, with and gracious nature came through in our two days together which included dinners and interviews for our film which Bob supported. Since that meeting there has not been a day that has gone by where we did not listen to Bob articulately describe his time in Dallas in the 80s. He will be missed.

Being one of your mother's best friends has made me know you better than you could have imagined. I think you were a true Renaissance man, with so many talents it took working at Etro to bring them all together into one job. Heaven will be livelier, but we will all miss your charm, intellect and wit. Rest well from a life well lived.

Dennis and I will always remember your funny stories, especially the day you told us about the lady who told her son, "Don't chew your foot"! You remain in my heart, Bob, and I remember you forever! Sally Squibb
