I can't believe 8 years have gone by without you on earth. I have 5 nieces and nephews now and truly hope that I can be as special of an Auntie to them as you were (are) to me as an Uncle. Missing you today and always, but I am forever grateful that you will always be part of my heart. Sending love upstairs to heaven.

Happy Birthday in Heaven... Joe & Pat visited us yesterday and we spoke so lovingly of you and especially your humor. Yes, the crab apple story was briefly revived and though I can never give it any justice, the laughs still piled up. I miss you terribly and think of you daily.

Its been a while since I wrote here but I know you understand, same way you did when you were here. That certainly doesnt mean I dont think of you often, I even rooted for the Yankees in the series, in part for YOU!
Heard a song today that stopped me in my tracks, thanks for sending it....."Cryin for me" by Toby Keith...great song that sums it all up for me my friend. See you on the other side superstar.........

Hi Rob I sit here today and remember Ray with his first anniversary in heaven. I havent written in a while but I want to tell you that I miss you and Ray so much. The family isnt the same without you two, my only comfort is knowing that you guys are together and were missing the stories down here! When the rest of the cousins get together we always talk about you and Ray and laugh and remember the very good times we had.
Miss you very much
Love Jeannine

Hey Rob, Can you believe a World Series is going on without either the Yanks or the Red Sox being involved? It's more like background noise on the TV. Christine and I had a successful walk recently... the donations keep trickling in. Always thinking of you and just want to say Happy Birthday. I love you.

Uncle Robert,
I can't believe it's been 2 years. I miss you so much and you are always on my mind. Whenever I think of you this song verse pops into my head..
"my old friend
this song's for you
because a few simple verses
was the least that I could do
to tell the world
that you were here
because the love and the laughter
will live on long after
all of the sadness and the tears
we'll meet again..."

Rob,
Can tomorrow really be two years since you left us? You are missed so much. Janice has done a wonderful job with the kids, a very difficult task. I saw James yesterday. He was at our CYO program for Special Needs Kids. He loves coming there. Also, he can't wait til Saturday when he becomes a teenager! Know that I think of you ALL the time and I know that you and Ray are hanging out together probably talking about Cammerer Avenue and all the stories. You're always on my mind.

You were remembered foundly today at Uncle Dale's funeral today. And I have to agree with Margaret said - I would love to be a fly on the wall when you, Dale, and Grandpa all get together in heaven today! Three amazing men who touched many peoples' lives profoudly and are all missed deeply.
Love, Christine
Margaret
October 2, 2007
Rob,
As we mourn the loss of your Uncle Dale, we know that he will be hanging out with you and your Dad. I can imagine the stories and laughs going on up there. Dale was a wonderful man and like you and your Dad, adored by all.
September 17, 2007
Uncle Robert,
A day does not go by that I don't think of you. I like it that way - You are always in my thoughts. I saw grandma this weekend in the hospital and was hoping you could keep an extra watchful eye on her. I am sure you already are. Love you and miss you so much more than words can say. We all do.
Love, Christine

My dearest nephew, I did not know this guest book was available.As stated by Margaret, Michael & Meredith were married 6/30. We all missed you but felt you were looking down on us. We love you so much you are always in our thoughts and prayers.Love Aunty Jaye & Uncle Mike.
Margaret
July 2, 2007
Rob,
It's been a while since I wrote, but I wanted to write on a happy ocassion. Michael and Meredith got married this past weekend. They were so happy and you were so missed. How we miss you and Michael sitting together and making us all laugh. You with his stories and Mike with his interjections. It was a lovely ceremony and celebration, and I have a feeling you were watching from above.
Joan
April 16, 2007
Dear Rob,
I never knew this guest book existed before today, but it is just as well because I don't think I could have looked at it any sooner anyway. To see all that has been written about you, the love that pours out of every entry warms my heart, makes me cry,and makes me realize that others miss you as deeply and as profoundly as I do. I think of you everyday. You were without a doubt my best friend,my confidant the one I shared everything with. Our long conversations are etched forever in my soul, I am just so grateful that we had such a close relationship. I'm still having those conversations with you, I feel you in my heart, I feel your presence often and I feel your love. there is no replacing you. Your stories, wit, wisdom and most importantly your love touched so many more people than you ever realized. I just wish you had known that longer then you did..anyway my dear brother I am so grateful to have had you in my life, I will miss you forever.
Margaret
April 14, 2007
Rob,
I can't believe a year has gone by and you're not here. April 15.. I will always remember that day. I was talking about you today. I found it so interesting that my god daughter Tara got married today (the 14th) so near to the anniversary of your death, and I was talking about how Tara and I were on your first date with Janice!!(laughing) You were taking Janice out on your boat and took me and Tara along for the ride. Tara always remembers it too. She remembers Janice wanted to go 10 mph and Tara wanted to go 50 mph. Her love of the water continues today.
A year. Jeez... how many times have I said I missed you in a year. Zillions of times. I'm going to say a special prayer....I miss you..
Margaret
March 23, 2007
Rob,
Time has flown by since I last wrote. Your ears must have been ringing last night as Pat & I were talking about you. You are missed so much. I can't tell you how many times I want to reach over to the phone and call you. Just know, I think about you all the time
Margaret
February 10, 2007
Rob,
I spent several hours with Janice and the kids today. They are all so special. Matthew is beginning to look like you! The Imbrogno in him is coming out now. Nicole is so sweet and James is a jewel. Janice has been wonderful with the children and always speak so glowingly of you. Keep watching over them...
Margaret

Rob..
As always, but especially today, you are in all of our thoughts.
Margaret
December 8, 2006
As the holiday season continues, I'm sure Janice wouldn't mind if I quote her:
"This Christmas season, please join with us in sending love and prayers to Robert in heaven. Robert was kind and friendly to all. In his memory, please extend kindness and friendliness to others. In doing so we can keep his spirit alive and his love on the earth. Our hope is to keep Robert in our hearts and to continue to spread his goodness in the world"
Janice, thank you for the wonderful words and thoughts.
Margaret
November 23, 2006
Rob,
Though we ALL feel we've been cheated out of spending the rest of our lives with you, I (and I think I speak for all)are so thankful for the precious moments we had with you. You'll be thought about at many a table today as we give thanks. You are so loved..

Rob-
It's been way too long since I've written, but this is the perfect time. Tomorrow is your birthday. October 24 always stood out in my head because of your birthday. You and I had a pact. No matter where we were, on our birthdays, one would call the other with great wishes of happiness. I remember calling you from Jill's wedding in Florida, from a softball tournament in Las Vegas. I could never miss it, cause if I did, I would hear it from you!! I remember one year you forgot to call me on my birthday. I think you called me every day for a week and apologized. I miss you. We all do. I can't believe its just over 6 months since you left us. The World Series is going on. Do you believe its the Tigers in there representing the AL? Nah, you had to see it to believe it. The Yankees and Red Sox stumbled along the way as did my Mets, but dramatically. Michael and Meredith got engaged last week, so they'll be a wedding coming up probably next year. Life isnt the same without you. Never will be.
Love

Rob,
This past Saturday, your cousins, etc. gathered at Mike's house in East Hampton for a special remembrance of you. Not that we need anything special to remember you by, but we recalled how much you enjoyed our gathering there last year. Last year James had told us all that "he was gonna live there one day". Matthew and Nicole were nowhere to be found as they played all day with their cousins, both in the pool and out. We talked Saturday. We talked about life and you. Nooooo, we didn't tell any of YOUR stories, but we told a few stories about you. It's nice getting together like that and we plan to do it once a year. We were lucky. The weather was great, we had plenty of food, and the company was the best. Add some sweet memories and the day was complete. You were missed, but we know you were there. We think of you always.
Margaret Johnson
August 1, 2006
Ya know Pat... Somewhere up in Heaven, I think Rob knows just how much he's missed. He knew that when he entered a room, everyone's attention would move to him in anticipation of hearing "the stories". We laughed so much. What I also think is so endearing is how much he was going to miss everyone. He loved spending time with each of us. Yep, every single one of us. I smile everyday thinking of him...I still want to pick up the phone and call him and talk about his Yankees, while we both wondered about my Mets. He is so sorely missed.
Jeannnine Stewart
August 1, 2006
Dear Rob - Were having a cousins party at Michael's in a few weeks, you wont be there physically but i know your spirit will be with us.Your wonderful stories were such a part of our cousins parties, they will be missed (especially the famous apple throwing one!)God did we laugh!!
We will miss you so much.
love you - Jeannine

Rob..
Jill and I drove by the old house today. East Rockaway has sure spiffed itself up the last couple of months. Jill hasnt been up here in 3 years and it's great having her here! Like Tim & Katie, Jill & Noel are expecting their first child too! Sometime in February, around Adam's birthday. I hope you're keeping an eye on Adam up there. He was always so crazy about you. When Jill and I passed Cammerer Avenue today, the house seemed in good order, but dang... those hedges sure need to be trimmed. I just want you to know I miss you so much..you still make me smile.
Margaret Johnson
June 15, 2006
Hey Rob...
It's been awhile since I checked in, but I just wanted to say I miss you and think of you always. We are going to have a cousin's gathering in your honor at Cousin Mike's house on August 19th. We plan to make it an annual event. I'm sure some of your stories will be told, but no one can tell them like you did. I think at this point, the crab apple toss story can be retired. I still laugh every time I think about it. I love the way you embellished the story every time you told it. I went along with every embellishment even though I was there when it happened and certainly dont remember some of your "events"! It just doesnt get funnier than that!
Margaret Johnson
May 25, 2006
Rob,
First of all, you'll be happy to know that your Yankees beat those Red Sox 2 out of 3 this past week. Of course you were probably watching over those Yankees during the series and willing Randy Johnson to throw a damn strike! I wanted to tell you what a wonderful event Dominick and Donna hosted, arranged, ran, call it what you may, this past Tuesday night. You would have loved it. Surrounded by memoribilia from various sports, it was hard NOT to bid or buy. Lots of Yankees material, old time baseball and football, a Wayne Gretzky autographed jersey just to name a few. All of the proceeds go to Janice and the kids. I was buried in raffle tickets I had bought for various relatives and friends. I even won some stuff. It was good to be there with Janice, Ginnie, Alan, David & Meredith. A couple of Alan's cousins were there,several of Janice's relatives some of your friends and a number of Dominick's associates. Your cousin Jeff donated Red Sox/Yankees tickets at Fenway Park...I believe they went for $480.
So many people care. So many people miss you. Tuesday night was a way to show that.I applaud everyone.
Margaret Johnson
May 11, 2006
Rob.. last night I went to see Matthew's baseball game. Imagine seeing a die-hard Yankee fan in a Mets uniform! You would have been so proud of him. He started at 2nd base, moved to 1st, pitched an inning and finished up in CF. He did ok at the plate, lining a hit in the 2nd inning. He looked so good in his uniform with the name IMBROGNO stretched across the back of the shirt and the #13 (one of my uniform numbers)big and bold. Yep, you would have been proud. Check that... I know you are proud....
Raymond Johnson
May 6, 2006
Well Rob it's been a few weeks now and it's really setting in that you have really left this life and moved on to a better one. Reading all the tributes to you demonstrates what a legacy you leave behind. Growing up together @ 16 Cammerer Ave brought years of laughter and fun. I'll never forget that you are Jennifer's godfather and that you were in my wedding party with that 'black eye'you 'earned' from an errant bat during a softball game the day before.
you just told the photographer to shoot you from your "good" side. You leave behind a wonderful family and SUPERSTAR memories to last a lifetime.
I was so fortunate to be there for your services and to pay my respects to an all-star cousin.

Oh Rob The guest book that has been signed for you just shows what a man you were. I cherish all the times we spent together, and there were many. The time you and margret took me to Joan's for the adult party(and i was 12), we left, then we spent the next 2 hours looking for the rockerfellar tree to be lit and by the time we got there it was off for the night. You had no heat in your v-w , but we laughed and laughed that night . I remember the time we went to uncle al's funeral and we thought we were being bombed-- only you ,margret and me will understand the laughs we shared that day, and i cherish it. Our times at the cousins parties will be cherished forever, volleyball and superstars;I can go on and on. we had so many laughs. Our children were the same age and when we were all at parties they enjoyed themselves as we did as kids. Just loving being with their cousins! I miss you so much Rob, but as you wished, my children will know your children as we grew up as cousins!! I love and miss you -- Jeannine

I had the pleasure of meeting Robert over 20 years ago. He was the "scooter pie" guy and I was the "cheez-it" man on a route in Valley Stream. I was the new kid on the block and was eager to make an impression, not only on my bosses, but because I worked on commission and I had my eye on this sparkling engagement ring for the girl of my dreams (who I just celebrated 16 great years with). I would sell these huge displays that dwarfed Roberts little stacks of Buitoni sauces......he would come in the store, take one look at the display and look at me........ with that look we all knew and say "HO-LY". He immediately nicknamed me "Hammer" and called me that for the last 20 years. He never made me feel like a competitor, in fact he always made me feel like he was MY biggest fan and admirer. I later got him a job with me at Sunshine and we remained good friends for the past 20 years. When my oldest son turned 1 in June of 1993 we invited Robert and Janice to the party. I had all the attendees sign a specially engraved "Happy 1st Birthday" baseball bat. We went back last week and pulled that bat out to see Roberts signature on the barrel. My family will always cherish that bat the same way Robert would a Bobby Murcer or Bobby Richardson signed bat because at the end of the day he turned out to be OUR hero. He never complained or questioned anything that happened to him, even though he knew I would have understood and been there for him if he did. He was the husband, father and friend that we all aspire to be. Rest in peace my friend, you will be missed more than you could have ever imagined..........
