I miss Bobby! He used to pop into my office at random times and just hang out for awhile. We'd talk about anything and everything, from old times to the Yankees to God. He was a great friend.

Everyone’s messages for Bob and family describe him perfectly. I was a high school classmate of ‘Guch’ and you never knew what fun he would bring to a room. He was definitely a character and brought love and smiles to us all. Wishing all of his family and friends peace.

Bobby,
Like so many I can’t believe you are gone. Can’t believe the phone won’t ring on a random day hearing your voice - just checking up on me.
You and Frank were always more like brothers than cousins. Thank you for always making me feel that way and for treating my Frank like a family member even before we were married.
You were always a favorite of Moms as she loved seeing you. You always made her smile - Oh that Bobby! She’d say. Today is her birthday and even though she will be sad for your family - she will have a great birthday present to see you in heaven on the day you are laid to rest. Your Mom, Dad and all your aunts and uncles are waiting for you. Make them laugh- put a smile on their faces as you always did for us.
Rest In Peace. Love you.

Pop! As soon as your first grandchild, Ava, was born, you became Pop. A force larger than life and a well of completely useless knowledge. But man was it fun listening to you rattle it off. You were my first call on so many occasions in my life, no matter if I was celebrating something or needed help fixing something I knew I could call my Dad. When Massimo started wrestling, I was so excited to share his every victory and looked forward to your words of encouragement for him after defeat. When Ariana was born, you told me there would never be another love in my life like the love a father has for his daughter. I knew this was true because Maria was always your favorite! :-) Life wasn't always easy Pop, but in the words of Sinatra, you did it your way! You taught me to be giving of my time and my talents, you taught me to value family and tradition, you taught me to not take life too seriously all the time and you taught me the importance of being a good man. I will always think of you when I'm making the Sunday sauce or on Christmas eve when the smelts are out and you aren't there to eat them, they were all for you anyway. The next time your grandkids do something amazing, I will try for the best impression of you I can and say with a fist pump ALLRIGHT! I know you are at peace now and that helps ease the pain in my heart. Thank you for 40 years of being my Dad! I love you!

I go way back to growing up as a neighbor of Bobby and Frank. Many laughs, mischief and fun! We lost touch, over the years, but seeing him just a few years ago, and being able to pick up where we left off, is a tribute to the longtime friendship we had. He was a lively person with a contagious laugh and smile and a joke or two. Loved his energetic spirit!! God decided that Bobby's time of serving Him was complete. I will cherish the memories Bobby gave me and he will be missed. Deepest sympathy to Frank & Cookie and the entire Tranguch family!

Frank, Nick, Matt, Maria, I am saddened by Guch's passing. I have many good memories from years ago when we spent fun times together. Every time we ran in to one another you made me laugh, and remember the good times. Cherish the memories, I know I will.

As soon as he walked into the room, the party began! One of those rare people who made you feel good just being with him or hearing his voice on the phone. Through the tears, we are all smiling with wonderful memories. Thank you, my dear friend. I miss you already.

Bobby was one of a kind, generous, kind, funny and a lifelong friend. A couple of months ago I called Bobby and told him I could not find dried yeast in New Jersey anywhere during the Covid outbreak. Within two weeks there is a package at my door with 12 packs of Dried yeast so I can make my homemade pizza which he loved. He will truly be missed, needless to say he was a piece of work! Santo

Bobby was my cousin and I am so saddened to hear of his passing. Although we had not seen each other in a very long time, he is still a part of my family. I have very fond memories of us growing up in Hazleton along with his brother Frank. He was always smiling and making jokes. My heart & sympathy goes out to his family and his brother Frank and sister in law Cookie. Rest in peace Bobby!

I sure will miss you! Heaven now has the 3 Musketeers (you, Jim and Patti). The three of you will have everyone laughing!
RIP my friend! ❤

Bobby was a great friend! He loved life, always laughing and remembering! We often exchanged jibes about his beloved Yankees and my Phillies but we also had many serious conversations about life! I will miss Bobby tremendously as I always looked forward to his phone conversations and his visits. He often talked about how deeply he loved his dear Shea and his grandkids and his children! Bobby will be missed by his many friends! I was blessed to be counted among those friends!
