We always enjoyed our visits with Robert. Every spring he would come and do yearly check up on the boiler he installed 20 years ago . Robert and I would always talk about Italy. He loved Italy and him knowing I was from that heritage he would always bring it up. When I needed him he was always there. We will truly miss him. Rest in peace !!!!

Such sad news to hear of Bob´s passing. We were all so hopeful for him to recover. Bob showed his character even when going through treatments which were extremely difficult by not making it about himself. He was in the moment with whomever he was with and interested to know that they were doing well. It was that generosity we admired and brought friendship. We´ve known Bob for ten or so years and that should have been just a beginning. Each visit or meeting with him was a pleasure which left us looking forward to seeing him again. He will be thought of often and missed.
