I met Bob when I worked for visual creations. He was a supplier of all our hardware. I had an opportunity to golf in many tournaments with him. Bob and his wife came to my wedding and also attended my husband's funeral also a marine. I lost track of Bob and I'm so very sorry for his passing. I pray for his wife and family at this time. Bob was a great person and I will miss him.

Bob was a good friend since our boyhood days and I will remember him as a man with great character and courage. As a patriot, he answered his country´s call and was very proud to serve as a marine. Despite his many medical challenges, he maintained his pleasant disposition and never failed to greet everyone with his infectious broad smile. Our periodic dinners,
along with other friends, were filled with light hearted conversation and robust laughter. This is the setting in which I will most remember him and feel the joy of his presence.
Bob, thanks for being my friend. Knowing you has enriched my life.
Sincerely ,
Ray Cerrito.
