THE LASTING IMAGE OF YOUR FOREVER SMILE IS STILL WITH ME~~
LOVE, ANDEE :)

It was 25 years ago today that my dad passed away. It is hard to imagine that he has been gone for half of my life. Thanks dad, for being such a wonderful father and friend! Love you always, Tina

Hallo Bob, it took me a while but here I am, writing to you as if you were still oversea and wanted to be kept up to date by your italian daughter. We are doing good here in Italy: two of my three sons are men already, Andreas is still fighting with school, parents and pimples and I am very proud of them, which is a good accomplishment nowadays. Gigi is a well appraised surgeon, works a lot during the week, becomes a farmer on week-ends, taking care of the vineyard. You would like the wine...

I just wanted to say ..today would have been my Dads 80th birthday! Dad loved his birthday,and made sure everyone knew about it! Sometimes He celebrated all week long! I know we are all thinkin of you today! love you! miss you ,Happy birthday!!

I can't believe it has been 24 years since my dad died! As daughter number two, of his four daughters, what I learned the most from my father is a strong work ethic. He had very high expectations for all of his girls, and helped us get our first jobs when we turned 16. He always took pride in his achievements as a civil engineer and as a building contractor. He passed this positive attitude toward work and the importance of giving back to the community to all of us. I feel blessed that I had...

There was nothing Uncle Bob wouldn't do for family and I learned that first hand. When I was a troubled teenager Uncle Bob saved me from myself. He and Aunt Anne took me into their home, even though they already had one border ( hi Denny). And with his influence I was able to enroll at Gerard to finish my high school education. I learned responsibility, but I also learned it was okay to have fun. Uncle Bob had a huge impact on my life and I will never forget what he did for me!

How does the boat thank the rudder for giving it direction? How do I thank Uncle Bob for guiding me on my journey from boyhood to manhood and setting the course I would follow the rest of my life? My dad taught me how to live a proper life, Uncle Bob taught me how to have fun with it. You can't tell someone how to open their home, their family and their love to a total stranger, but you can show them how it is done. Uncle Bob, thanks for all the time and effort you gave to me. And thanks for...

Hi Anne and family:

I just want to tell all of you how great it was to have known and worked with Bob at Gerard High. We had many a stimulating conversations as well as great jokes, making for some very memorable meetings.

I alway looked forward to the next meeting and chatting with Bob.

It just blows my mind to think that 24 years has past. We all miss him.

Dear Anne, Pris, Bobbie, Tina and Rosie,
I met Bob in LA airport more than 30 years ago and I immediately felt at my ease and for all of you I became another Italian daughter.
I never knew a person as friendly and nice as he was.
Let me remember his smile and his shining eyes. He will always live in my mind.
