Robert G. Mattone

I just learned of Bob's passing and am so saddened by this news. I knew Bob from "the industry" and we first met in 1990 I believe -- we were also both U of D graduates so we shared that in common as well -- I just saw Bob last year in a lobby of an ad agency of course and he was all smiles -- I told him I "finally" had a child and he was all smiles as if he knew how much that means because his family meant everything to him and yes he of course bragged about his daughter.

What a...

Barbara and Erin...the Ruane family is so saddened by the passing of such a wonderful man. Pls know we are thinking of you and hope you find comfort in knowing how much we loved your dad and husband...all our love to you

It was such an honor to have Bob as a close friend for 25 years, The most generous, thoughtful friend anyone could ever have. Always positive with a smile on his face. Had the gift of making everyone feel better about themselves.

You'll be dearly missed by everyone. I'm a better person for having you as a friend.

God bless.

What a great guy Bob was! I had to like him whether out was at the beach club, or a quick chat after mass at Holy Cross, or longer ones waiting for the ferry. One thing was alway clear was how much Barb and Erin meant to him. May the angels lead him to paradise, may the martyrs greet him and the saints welcome him.

Barbara, Erin and all Bob's friends and family,
I wanted to send my deepest condolences on the passing of Bob. I had the absolute pleasure of working with him at TV Guide in the early 2000's and we luckily crossed paths again at Verifone in 2016-2017. Bob was one of the most straightforward and genuine people you could meet..especially in this crazy business. Words can not express how sorry I am to hear this news. He always spoke so lovingly of his family and his life. I'm grateful...
