My deepest sympathy. His love of his family was everything. He inspired so many of us without even knowing it. How he treated his wife and all of us in class with encouragement and kindness, meant so much. So young, gave so much. May he Rest in Peace

Dear Karen and the Ollari Family, We are deeply saddened by Rob's untimely passing. I first met Rob when I was teaching at WTA (then known as Voc/Tech).

My heart goes out to the Ollari family. He was one of a kind. His laugh, his smile was contagious. An absolute pleasure to be around. I not only called him a boss but a friend. So many fun memories of him shaking up margaritas at Casa De Nana. What a pleasure to have known him. May his memories always keep you smiling. Rest in peace, Rob.

Mr. Ollari changed my life. His belief in me instilled confidence that has resonated with me through my adulthood. I will never forget the time he spent with me in the Career Center at Westfield Highschool, over 20 years ago and the conversations, kindness and concern he displayed to me. He simply cared, and that made all of the difference to me. Thank you Mr. Ollari, for all of your time. I am forever grateful.
