Dear Friend, I thank you for participating in our ministry of Parents Helping Parents. Helping parents from Mother Cabrini by becoming aware of gang prevention. We loved your presentations and year after year we looked foward having you visit our church. I will miss you dear friend and brother. May you rest in peace that Lord's perpetual light shine upon you. My most sincere and heartfelt condolences to your family and children perhaps now adults that you helped out of gangs and drugs. You did such an awesome job. You did God's calling and will. You are an inspiration and will be truly missed. Parents Helping Parents Ministry at St. Frances Xavier Cabrini Catholic Church

Dear friend: I am heartbroken as I write these words of goodbye. I first met you when we grew up next door to each other on Bisbee street in El Paso. You were, and always have been, an inspiration, a mentor, a jokester, and a true and caring GOOD friend not only to me, but to so many others who had the pleasure of knowing you. Rob, may you rest now, but always know that I and all of those others whose lives you touched will forever remember all the kindnesses and times you spent listening, counseling, and just sharing your insights and thoughts with us. There is no other person I've met on this Earth with the empathy, spirit and wonderful sense of humor that you had. We will miss you my friend but will carry you in our hearts until it is our time to depart. Friends forever...

Mr Rob Gallardo created a a Group, a new beginning, a family called O.N.G. To me he wasnt no ordinary Man, he was an Angel. O.N.G was a non profitable organization that was a very strong family helping out youngsters find a future not in a gang. Mr G once told me his purpose in life was helping people. Im one of the kids he helped. my name is Aladdin Ruiz and i loved this man like a father, May God bless his family and his soul. i will always cherish the memories with you Mr. G. i love you sir! O.N.G for life! (O)peration (N)o (G)angs
