I met Bob "Conti" as a young girl and not a time went by that he did not make me smile or laugh...he was a refreshing face in the crowd. Although it's been many years since I've seen him I can say from the bottom of my heart that he will be missed and he has touched my life in a very positive way.

July 12, 2014

First I want to say to the family, how sorry I am that his happened. I saw on all of your face's How very much Robert was loved. I have loved Robert for 30 years. He was my first love. I don't regret a minute of it. He treated me like I was the only girl in the world. It was hard for me after we decided to end our relationship. I didn't know how I was going to find anyone who could fill that love I had for him. So I didn't we remained friends throughout the years, I didn't see him as much as we should have but when we did, we always picked right up where we left off. His humor and everlasting love we felt for each other was always there. For me the hardest part of not being with him was the lost and missing his family whom became mine also. After seeing everyone up at the hospital It was apparent that never stopped. The only comfort I have to offer is that he is now with his #1 best friend and only real women Robert loved more than life it self is his mother. RIP Robert your back with your mom again. Always loved.
