Dear Tracy
I decided to at long last search for you and your mother only to discover the news of the loss of your dear mother and husband.
I am so deeply sorry for your losses and that we lost touch over the years.
I have never forgotten your wedding where I had so much fun and was so touched by your father´s singing.to you.
I have beautiful memories of you as a child and of course your parents and my Auntie Ann and Uncle Al
I too am grieving the loss of my daughter,Elysa who was married to Michael Lipson.She passed away in 2016 at the age of 46 from cancer
I hope this message gets to you albeit so long overdue
Sending you lots of love

We became friends with the Montanari family when we lived near them in the Twin Lakes neighborhood. Despite his struggles, Bob remained strong, determined, and was dedicated to Tracey and his children. He persevered through many years of adversity, but managed to stay upbeat and always greeted us with a smile. Bob lived for his children and will now forever live through them.

Thank you God that Bob lived. We are blessed that he was among us and blessed that he and Tracey created such wonderful children and blessed by his and their friendship. We can't understand why you take us in the time and manner in which you do God. But we can understand why and we are so very thankful that Bob was a part of our lives and that he created the lives of his children in whom he lives on.

Tracey and Rachel, Josh, & Nate. I can't tell you how sorry Mary and I are. We always considered Bob the "Father of the Year". Just a very decent man and a role model for all men.
