To Bob's Family,
Sorry to hear that Bob has passed away. When we were kids my mothers house was always the hang out house. There were 5 boys in our family and Bob would come over, ride his mini bike and hang out with all of us. He enjoyed being one of the guys. We all enjoyed his company, especially my mother. I had a 1969 Camaro then, and Bob loved that car. Sorry for your loss, he was a great guy.

John,
Stan Berry (I think your mom and dad may have been his clients -- he's a financial advisor) called me today to tell me of Bobby's death. Just makes me very sad. I remember him as a sweet kid. Both our brothers were so special and definitely unforgettable.

My best to you and your family.

I remember when I was a kid how Bob used to come over here on his mini bike and ride around with my brother. He used to come over and still stop by even after my brother moved. He liked my mom. I always liked Bob too. When my brother would come in for a holiday or visit , he'd alway go over and see him on Norwood rd. I also remember how Bob loved animals.

To the Family of Bobby Pitegoff,
I have many summer memories of seeing Bob and his mother together at The pool TBCC. It was very clear how much love and care and delight that Bob
gave and received from his family. I admired his desire to work and live independently and to be cheerful. It has been many years since I had seen
Bob but I do know his life mattered to many people and he taught a lot of people how to live with great enthusiasm. I am sorry for your loss.
Best,
Lisa Arons Aldridge
