Robert M. Ferrante

Dear Tina and Marc,

Heard via our girls of Bob's passing. Know that in spite of the miles separating us, you were in our hearts, and our love for you guys never faded. We fondly recall ALL our musical associations around Mayflower Church - the ensemble, the choir, and the lessons at your home. All this and heaven too!! Bob just went ahead of us, and we know we will join him! May our God of all comfort be your peace and joy in this time. Love you in Jesus' Name,

Ron and Anne

Goodbye, Bob, my friend of over 50 years. What stories we shared together!

One final piece of advice - How to get into heaven?

Pull your car up to the gate, roll down the window, lean your elbow out and say,
"I'm with the band!"

Dear Brockton Public Schools,

Sorry for your loss. I remember that he led the Concert Band for many years. I will remember him from the concerts and the honor roll assemblies.

Too young, too soon. R.I.P.

The joy provided through the music of thousands of Bob's students will live on and honor him for many years. He was a great man and fabulous teacher. This is a great loss for all who knew him and certainly for his family. The music in heaven will play on with a new angel to join the band. Rest in peace.

Our children had Mr. Ferrante for band at the West Jr and the High school. Our son selected Mr. Ferrante to honor during his National Honor Society initiation. What a kind and caring man. How sad for his family.
