I loved hearing all the stories about Bob Difranco. His dancing with his wife and his passion for gardening. How despite his age he never let that slow him down. So much enthusiasm for life! I know he was such an inspiration to those around him. I know he will be greatly missed. My deepest sympathies to the Difranco family

Our prayers and thoughts are with our dear Uncle Bob's family and friends as we grieve our loss. Uncle Bob was a kind and generous man who loved us and we loved him. We loved his happy ways of being with family. We learned much from him...about food, gardening, joy of music and dancing...He will be missed very much! He accomplished much in his 99 years!

You were a Mentor to many, loved to garden, babied your fig tree, loved meeting with friends as you danced with your wife, invigorated by your Children, Grandchildren, and Godchildren. We will miss exploring new restaurants and listening to his World War II stories. Rest in Peace Bob.

Watching Bob keep his yard immaculate, marigolds hearty, and work in his garage, as well as his dancing stories would inspire anyone who knew him. Dancing with his wife again in heaven! Our condolences to his family. Dale & Cheryl
