Bobby, I am forever grateful to have known such a wonderful person!
We worked side by side through so many different situations.
You were a true friend and an advocate when I had none.
I often thought of you as a brother. We never spoke of it; we didn't need to.
You understood me better than anyone. Your friendship meant more to me than words could ever say.
In good times and bad times, you were there through them all, doing whatever you could to make things better.
Your unwavering loyalty and your generosity of spirit were things to be admired.

Last time we were together, as I was beginning a new path, we cried a little and we hugged.
I took for granted that we would meet up again and have some laughs together about old times.

You may have moved on, but you will never be forgotten.
I will forever remember you with love and respect and...
I will miss you, always.

Rest in peace my friend.

After a long drive south, Bob put french fries on my chest while I was sleeping on the beach in Fort Lauderdale. I woke to a seagull on me and Bobby roaring with laughter. I was ready to end his life then!

Bob's joy for life will be with us forever. I am so happy to have known him, worked with and shared times together.

Best Vacation!

Dear Bobby,

Im so sad and heart broken that you lost the battle with cancer. I lost my best friend, My little brother. When you came to my Mothers funeral and we cried like babies, you stole my heart. At work you were my mentor. Our trip to Puerto Rico with you was the best vacation ever. I am sad to see you go, but no more pain. I will miss you the rest of my life. Rest in Peace my loving Brother. God Bless you.
Baby I have a white candle lit for you. To direct you thru the dark tunnel. Our lord is waiting for you. I will always have my many great memories.

Good bye my friend,
"My Little Angel"
Bobby
Love,
Charlie Valentin

I'll always remember the first time I saw Bobby, he came into the bar with Michael Fabiano while I was bartending and asked to see Jeff- I thought, "Who are these 2 handsome guys?", little did I know he would end up being me and Wayne's roomate for a time in Brookline, and nearly burning the place down! (Long story) Love you Bob.

January 6, 2012

Bobby, it has been many years since we first played baseball in Arlington on VFW with your great dad coaching us. We graduated HS together in 1980 and enjoyed our teenage years at "The Farm". It has been many years since then, we grew distant, but the good memories are still there. Best wishes pal and say hello and thanks to "Coach Pitko" for me. Hazy

Bob, it was so hard to see you in so much pain and as much as it hurts to see you go, I am so glad that you are now pain free and at rest in the Hands of the Lord. It will be so strange to look out the window and not see you and Kwanza horsing around in the pool. You will be missed by the McClure, Thompson and Clement families. Hug Brownie for me. Rest In Peace!
