I lived across the street from the Turano family for a few years in the early sixties. I always envied the children for having such loving parents. Mr. Turano was always calm and centered and was, to me, an example of what we all should be. I'll always remember his kindness.

I worked at the rehabilitation home Mr. Turano resided in. He was such a kind soul. I'll remember how sweet he was and how much his eyes glimmered when he got some hot chocolate. He was so funny. My condolences to the family.

To the Turano Family: Bob was such a wonderful warm, kind man. I always admired him, and my husband Jerry so enjoyed working with him at Washington Jr. High. May our good Lord be with you and give you strength during this difficult time.

Oh, fond memories of working with Bob chaperoning the dances at Washington Jr. High. He was humorous and kind, with a twinkle in his eye. May his memory be eternal.

Dearest Turano Family,

I am deeply saddened to have heard of Bobs passing. He was always such a kind and gentle man. I have so many fond memories of him and all your family as we all grew up together. He and your whole Family always made me feel like I was just another one of his kids whenever I was around, which was as you know alot! May the Lord our God bless you all with grace and comfort for your loss as only he is able. May his peace and joy be with you in the knowledge that God has called his faithful servant home to his final reward. All of our Love and prayers to you and yours

From the entire Moreno Family.
