Robert DeDonato Sylvester

Dear Bobby, you were my very first best friend. I remember vividly running back and forth between our houses on Ivanhoe almost every day before kindergarten interfered. We had such fun playing together and sharing our important four year olds' thoughts. Steve and Raymond I am sorry for your loss and offer my condolences. I am thinking of you.

Bob had an infectious smile and a heart of gold - he will be missed.

Dearest handsome Bob with your movie star smile. How lucky I was that you escorted me to that mid-winter informal so many great years ago. Sending you comforting peace and love as you smoothly sail to the other shore. I know I speak for all of us as we toast you at out next reunion. You were a champion in our world-and we will never forget you. Thank you for every smile.

Bob was a beautiful fun man to be around. He always brought a smile to my face. When I think of Bob I see his huge smile and hear his laugh. He was an All Time Classic. Bob lifted everyone's spirit in his presence. He will definitely be missed. My warmest thoughts and wishes go out to his family and friends who have lost a great companion.

I was saddened to learn of a old classmate's death.Steve and Raymond I am so sorry. Take care of yourselves.

I'll miss you Sly !

Bobby, I'll always be glad that we had a chance to catch up and talk, when you were here in Portland, several years ago. I did not know you well as an adult, but I will always remember your infectious smile and laugh. The only solace in losing you here on Earth is that you must surely be up there with ALL of the wonderful DeDonato siblings, laughing and having the BEST time. I am sure you are in amazing company. Save seats for the rest of us. xoxo, Molly O'Hara (Richard DeDonato's granddaughter)
