I attended SCU with Bob from 73-74. He was on my floor in Swig Hall. A good guy, quiet, athlete. Was once kind enough to have me to his family's house overnight, and we attended a track meet at Palma High. I was a long way from home and didn't get home very much.
He, Melvin Fortes, Don Verfurth, and a few others are happy memories of my brief year at SCU.

For Bobby, during the years we had together in high school, your smile and quiet demeanor stood out in a sea of noise and confusion. Your spirit and warmth will live on in the lives of all that you have touched. I am so grateful for the chance that we had to talk at our last reunion. may God bless you and your family. May He keep you near to His Heart. And since you ARE THERE, put a good word in His ear for us, the less worthy.
Forever Peace to you, Sheila

To The Barich Family:
Bob's eternal light will forever shine within the hearts of his co-workers and customers, many of whom became close friends of his. Bob is loved by many and will be missed.

Dear Barich Family,
I was so saddened by the news of Bobby's passing. He was such a great friend and we had many great times together...especially on a few ski trips together. He had such an easy going manner about him and such a wonderful smile. He is now at peace and an angel looking over all of you.
I am thinking of all of you and will keep Bobby in my prayers.
Warm Regards,
Lynn Butler (Corsiglia)

Dear Bob,
I nicknamed you "Cliff" for some silly reason in our past rodeo days together. You are forever in my heart Cliff! Bob and I sure miss you and are so very sorry for your family's precious loss. Until we meet again Cliff!
Much love,
Laura and Bob Piini
