Robert E. Lombardi

Great man, it was a pleasure to have played on your team Coach, I'll never forget those Rocket reminders in 100 degree heat. During triples at summer football camp. "Gotta Love It" he would say... Gonna miss you coach!

Hope this is still active. Played for Coach at Rich East '81&'82. Saw his grandson tonight on ESPN and took a chance. Not surprised of the legacy he has left that will continue to affect football of many different levels. RIP Coach, thanks for the effort.

The Peace Hospice Team wishes to express our sincere condolences to Robert´s family and friends. We are honored that we could provide care and companionship to Robert and his family on his final journey. Our thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time. 

Coach led us from a 1 win season to HF´s first conference championship and undefeated season. God Bless your family! Serb

I was a member of Coach Lombo's first HFHS Varsity team. He inherited a 1 & 7 team and led us to 6-1-1 season. We learned a lot that year. Rest in peace.

Coach Lombardi had a significant impact on me. He was firm yet fair with me during my football career at HF. I'll never forget what he said to me prior to our first game my senior year (September 1973) vs. Rich Central (and my first starting assignment as a defensive back). We were stretching in the end zone, and I was was loudly complaining about a sore ankle. Coach "Lombo" said: "Dunne, you've been waiting 4 years for this opportunity. Quit whining and show us what you've got!" ...

My sincerest sympathy to the Lombardi family. It was a pleasure to work with him many years at H-F H.S.

Job well done, thanks coach

Great Coach...Great Mentor...Great Friend
