I have been fortunate enough to know and love Bob Principe for over seventy years. From our days growing up together in the Federal Hill area of Providence, Bob was a constant presence in my life-a loyal friend, a good man, and someone who left a lasting imprint on everyone who knew him. We shared countless memories, laughter, and moments that I will always treasure.

To Jeanne and the children, please know that Bob´s life was rich in love and friendship, and his legacy will live on through all of you and through those of us who were blessed to walk beside him. I pray that you find comfort and peace in the promise that Bob is now at rest and will be waiting for you in heaven for eternity.

My sincerest condolences,
Bob Urciuoli
