Robert A. Perna

Angie and family,
I am so sorry to hear of your loss. Bob was such a great guy. He made my time working at the Holiday Inn a joy and I will never forget hunting with him and my father. I will always cherish the memories and the special friendship you and Bob had with my parents.

Dear Angie and family,
I was shocked to find out of Bob's passing. I'd been looking for news of his playing for some time now and just now stumbled upon news of his passing. Deepest sympathy to all the family. Our family will never forget how great & fun it was to go see him and hear him play. He will be dearly missed by all!

Bob was a great influence to me. I will always remember his pure trumpet sound and a lot of that influenced me and my trumpet playing. My family knew him very well and we will miss his humour also. Frank Reda Jr. Wisconsin

Sorry to hear of your loss. Our prayers go out to you and your family.

I just learned on internet of your loss of bobby, I have fond memories of him from my childhood in the old neighborhood and my home at 1210 west Lexington,next door to my school and my church,our lady of Pompeii.bobby would always come to dad when he had problems with playing on the job like one time he asked dad,"john I can't last the night'. I remember dad telling him buzz on just the mouthpiece ,use sclozberg method,breathing so forth.later years I would phone bobby my way of staying...

My condolences to you Angie, Robert Jr. Deanna &Family. Bob was a great man and musician. I have many many fond memories of all of you and always will. I remember Bob rehearsing every day in his home with total dedication which made him the superb artist that he was. His memory and music will live on in all of us forever. RIP Bob Perna
