Tata family I sincerely express my condolences. May the Immaculate Heart of Mary console and comfort you. I was the yeoman on the USS EXULTANT MSO 441 when Captain Robert Tata was the XO. GREAT family history. Regards Allan and Susan Fitzwater

I knew Bob Tata as a neighbor, a good friend and as my representative in the House of Delegates. He helped the Kempsville community and supported the Larkspur Civic League for many years. He kept all of us informed on important matters. He and Geraldine raised a super family.
My wife, Barbara and I extend our heartfelt sympathy to all the family. Both Bob and Geraldine were great people.

On behalf of the entire Swartz family, We love you and are thinking about you.

So sorry for your loss. May his memory bring you comfort and peace. You are in our thoughts and prayers.

Dear Robert, Tony and Kendall,
I am deeply saddened while fondly remembering a life well lived -- and the special times we shared when my path crossed with your Dad -- beginning in the mid 1990s when he was Coach at Norfolk Catholic High School. (I was a student, cheerleader and the one who stayed with you when Dad and Mom had an appointment!) Our paths crossed often years later in the 1990s! I visited him annually in Richmond on Advocacy Day as a member of the American Cancer Society...

What a life! What a legacy! We're thinking of you all in this tough time.

Faithful Wishes Wreath

Losing someone you love is never easy. Bob willl be greatly misssed Harriet and Eddie Goodove

Dear family, I taught history and government at Norview High School from 1970-1994. As a guidance councilor you dad always had my back during parent/teacher conferences. They could be contentious and "coach" was always there for me. Our lunch room discussions were always interesting and concluded in "friendly" disagreements. I loved him and respected him greatly. I carry good memories. Thank you Bob.
