Prayers to the Chagolla family

My husband Santiago would always come home telling me stories about his workday. Especially the ones when he would work with Bob Sr. And Jr. How he could see how Bob had a passion for his trade and truly enjoyed what he did.
As every father would love to have the opportunity to work side by side with their dad/son . This was truly a blessing.
True definition of a hard working man and family man.
Our prayers go out to all the the Chagolla family, be there for each other and know that your dad is watching over you.
Rest in Paradise

Prayers for the family. May cousin Rest in Peace. I first met Bobby at our first family reunion many years ago at Uncle Tony Esquibel house. He was kind, and a family man. My mom Patudy would tell me stories about him and the family. She was very proud of him. She actually bragged about him, which I could understand cause of the person he was and stood for. To the family I don't know May God Bless each and everyone of you. To cousin Bobby give my grandpa Jess "Pavo" and grandma Sally a big hug from me.

Our prayers and thoughts are with you all! I will always remember Robert Chagolla Senior as Grandpa Chagolla as he introduced himself to me at Bobby and Melissa's wedding. He always had a funny comment to make! Steve has a photographic memory of his smile he always had when he saw him. What great memories he leaves for all!

Our deepest sympathy to the Chagolla family.

Mr. Chagolla as I always called him will be greatly missed.I'll never forget the time he helped me build my patio. Both Bob Jr. and Senior helped my Dad and I get it off the ground. It was fun watching them work together and you could tell it was a working relationship that went back a long way.It was clear who the foreman was as Senior instructed Jr. on what to do and how to do it... I remember him saying to Jr. "Don't do it that way it looks weirdo" an expression that was exclusively his I'm sure...
My Dad who considered himself somewhat of a Carpenter was in awe at the speed,precision and skill with which they were able to erect the structure. He swore he was in the presence of Carpentry Royalty and from that day forward he always asked about Bob Senior.

Thank You Mr. Chagolla for being such a great neighbor and freind. I'll miss not seeing you out hand watering your lawn but I will always think of you when I hand water my own lawn.

Rest In Peace Mr. Chagolla
