Dora and family, I M heart broken to read about Robert. Know you and yours are in my prayers. Yes, he was all those great things that were written about him. Just know he is in his Creators arms, and he will be our "Special Angel"

Dora and all the Balli family. We were deeply saddened to hear of Robert's passing. We were unable to attend the services but had you all in our thoughts and prayers. Growing up with all the Balli kids was a good time in my life. There were so many good people in Alamo then, including the Ballis, the Caballeros, the Hirsches and others. We'll miss Robert but know that he suffered and now has gone on to a better place. We'll keep you in our prayers. We'll miss him.

We are reflecting on all the good memories that so many have of Robert.

Crossing the Bar

Sunset and evening star,
And one clear call for me!
And may there be no moaning of the bar,
When I put out to sea,

But such a tide as moving seems asleep,
Too full for sound and foam,
When that which drew from out the boundless deep
Turns again home.

Twilight and evening bell,
And after that the dark!
And may there be no sadness of farewell,
When I embark;

For tho' from out our bourne of Time and Place
The flood may bear me far,
I hope to see my Pilot face to face
When I have crost the bar.

So sorry to hear about the passing of Robert. I met Robert when I was in my teens. My dad introduced him to me when we went to ask for a car loan one day. Eventually we became good friends.He would come to my house and talk about his experience with his other job of taking hunters to Mexico.My condolences to the Balli family.He will be greatly missed.

Our deepest sympathy to the Balli Family for their recent loss, of a dear loved one. May God grant you the strength and comfort to endure this trying time in your lives."Those who trust in the LORD for help will find their strength renewed. They will rise on wings like eagles, they will run and not get weary. They will walk and not grow weak."Isaiah 40:31

My deepest condolences to the family of Balli. You will be in my prayer he was a great person. May god help you through this time of sorrow.

Our payers are with the Balli fam. God bless you

I would like to extend my and my families deepest condolences. I remember Mr. Balli very fondly as one of my dads closest friends. He and Mrs. Balli and their kids were/are close friends of my family and we have always held them in very high regards/respect. One story though; a funny one. One day when I was in college and driving in with my younger brother, Rick...I had this Camaro that he was always asking to buy from me...he was sitting on the driveway with his back to us, helping my dad out...they were working on a "weed-eater" I believe. Back then, Mr. Balli was solid as a rock! He looked like a stone block. Believe me, he had these forearms that looked like pistons. Anyway, back to the story...I pull up and I look at my brother..."hey, who's that chubby kid helping dad out?" I said. As I got off the car...I would learn that Mr. Balli also had superhuman hearing..."mihito, that chubby kid is me" as he turned to face me laughing...man I was so embarassed and very apologetic! Mr. Balli always looked much much younger than he really was.
"Mr. Balli, it is with my sincerest and most genuine sense of respect that I say...Fair Winds and Following Seas Sir..."
On behalf of the Moya Family; we will miss you. The world is certainly a lesser place after you've gone...but you'll be gone for just a little while...

My sympathy goes out to all of your family. May the Lord help u and guide in this difficult journey

Prima Dora and kids,
I have fond memories of Robert, especially of how he was always so available to our family. He truly was an asset to our community. Robert led a life well lived. Thank God for blessing us with him.

The greatest satisfaction of one is the full realization in everything done, is a son, a husband, a parent, a friend, and you gave us a sample of integrated and full of life in every way, with all your goodness and integrity in everything undertaken by you along your journey down the path of life.

Our condolences to the Balli family from the Cavazos family. Mr Balli will be missed dearly and we will always cherish the memories we have of him. Mr Balli was always fun to be around as a young child and as I grew I learned a lot from him. He gave me words of advise and encouragement and I will always love him for that. Rest in peace Mr Balli and give my Dad a big hug for us. We will miss you dearly.

Always enjoyed your positive attitude and outlook on life, in general, Primo.

Please accept my deepest sysmpaties.
