I have very fond memories of Bob & the Caputo family. Growing up in Tamaqua & living 1-1/2 blocks away, we often hung out at the Caputo house. We took many long walks up in the mountains & railroad tracks sharing many great times. Our deepest sympathies.

To my dear cousin Barbara, I will always remember our childhood together and the good times we had. I am always here for you. When I called you I always enjoyed when Bob answered so we could chat a little. Love, Florence and family

I have very good memories of the Caputo Family for I lived across the street, played ball many times, sat on the front porch and talked with Mary , Angelo and all of the family almost daily. A wonderful family.
May his memory be eternal.

I lost a special friend yesterday - someone who I consider my family. Someone who loved me as much as I loved him. Someone who left this world way too soon. We had so many more celebrations ahead to share. You'll always be in my heart & you will truely be missed. Thank you for always looking after me & sharing the special moments in my life. Love you Bobby! Rest in peace my dear friend.
