To all the Bianchi-Rossi family,
I had been a friend and colleague of Bob beginning in Virginia Junior College in Spanish class, then on to remeet in teaching at Hermantown High School, and later yet, to travel to Acapulco with student groups in '87 and '89. What a determined go-getter, working always 3 things at once. I am shocked to hear of his passing, but will always have great memories of his lively, contagiously happy manner. He will be greatly missed by so many he touched over the years.

Bianchi-Rossi Family,
My heart goes out to Melanie and the entire family. Bob was the first neighbor I met 30 some years ago when moving into my home in Coon Rapids. He had a wonderful laugh that echoed across the pool. My thoughts and prayers are with you. He will be greatly missed.

Dear Melanie,
I am so sorry for your loss. You introduced me and my husband to Bob a few years ago when we bumped into you both at a restaurant in downtown Minneapolis. While we only met the one time, I remember Bob's warm personality and his terrific smile. My heart goes out to you, and my thoughts are with you.

To all of the Bianchi Rossi Family current and past. I have so many great memories of Bob dating back over 30 years. The trips to Acapulco with the boys and my family, the Coon Rapids bowling league, the card club and the honor of being Bob's insurance agent for over 30 years. We always had the Italian connection. Please accept my heart felt condolence, I will miss Bob Rossi!

Mel & Tony-
So shocked to hear the news, Bob was just a force of nature and the world is worse for his loss. Only got to know him the last few years on the trips to PV but looked forward to seeing him each year. Best wishes to all of you.

Thoughts and prayers are with you all...Bob was a great man and will be forever missed. I am so thankful for my time spent in Mexico with you all...which ultimately led to my career in the travel industry the past 10 years. I am forever grateful for that opportunity, and cherish all the fun memories we had over the years. Hugs to you all...

He had a way of making you feel special, that's truly a gift. He will be missed dearly. He even left his mark with Bailey, who is very saddened by the news.. to influence a teenager takes some magic!

We wish to express our deepest sympathy and share in your sorrow. Bob was a great man whom we feel so blessed to have known.

Melanie,
Please accept my condolences on the passing of your husband. Although I have only known you for a short time, it is clear the depth of your feelings for him. I wish that I had been able to meet him, but feel I know him in a small way as I listened to you talk about him over the last few months. You have been a great supporter to him through this difficult time. My thoughts and prayers are with you and the family.
