Dear Robert,
I have been trying to find the words to express how much I love you and miss you. You were the best thing that ever happened to me in my lifetime and the best father and husband I had for Michele and Cherie and our grandchildren. Their doesn't a day go by that I don't think of you and the great memories we had and all the things we did together. I enjoyed playing scrabble, going on a bike ride and playing with your cars when you where building the 34 Ford. Little Joe miss's you alot and he tells me everyday if I need anything done, he will help me because Pa taught him everything so he can help me since you are in heaven. You would be very proud of yourself since Joe really looks up to you even though you are not with us. There isn't a day that pass's that Joe talks to me about PA. Every day since they moved in Joe and I say Goodnight to you. Christian miss's you also and he tells everyone that he has a ATV from his PA in heaven. He really enjoys riding it. Christian also says boy I miss Pa. Brooke and Kolin are small but in there hearts and the pictures they will always know that there PA helped babysit them and loved them dearly. You truly enjoyed playing and being around the grandchildren. They were a big part of our lives. You always said we were lucky to have our children stay around us and not move out of the state. Thanks for helping me babysit our grandkids I enjoyed doing it with you and you were a big help. We hope you can here us and see us. You were the best and I will miss you very much.Iam thankful for the past 25years of marriage and and having known you since Sept 5, 1980 thank you for taking care of me and for the best time in my life.

Your place of rest is next to your best friend Popovich at Flora Haven so I hope you both stay out of trouble and enjoy eternal life until I see you again. Your crew at American Airlines carried you to your resting place and Carmine and John Ferranti were honored to help.

Iam sorry you had cancer but I loved taking care of you and making sure you had the best doctors and treatment. Now you can rest my dear Robert "NO More cancer or pain" everyone always said you never looked sick so now enjoy your great looks with your mom and dad and Jesus in Heaven. I couldn't have been more proud and honored to be your wife. The remarks and people that came to say goodbye was amazing. I Love you always and forever. Your wife Joann I hope and pray I see you waiting for me someday in heaven.

Dear Bob,
I hope somehow you get this message...I wanted you to know that it has been a pleasure being your friend. You hve truly enriched my life ever since we met in High School back in the 60's in West Milford, NJ. Fishing, hunting, camping (remember when we burnt down our tents with fireworks while camping in Canada with George Faugno, Mike Triola and me? I'll always remmber the great meals your Mom and Dad made for us and the times going up to Greenwood Lake on the weekends. For a while we both had silver '68 Corvetttes and double dating. We were pretty cool back then. I want to recognize your contributions to our Country during your stint in the Navy during Viet Nam and your many years of devoted service with American Airlines. I will always hold you in highest esteem as a true friend. Til we meet again...David Quinones, Syracuse, NY

Dad, I can’t get across how much I miss you. I am not sure what I am going to do without you. You have always been there for me. I remember all the wonderful times we had like the long motorcycle rides we would take, the times you would pick me up from school in the hot rod, going to the races with Scottie and I, going to car shows, and just hanging out at the house.
Dad, things will never be the same without you in my life. I know you are in a better place and you are not in any more pain. I am thankful that you got to be here when Kolin was born. I will always be reminding him of what a wonderful person you are and reminding him of how he got his middle name. I am happy that you are with your mom & dad and knowing that I have a wonderful angel looking over me and the family is a blessing.
Yes, I know mom, Michele and I will have a very difficult time adjusting to not having you around, but I promise to always be here for mom, Michele, Joe, Brooke, and my family.
You mean the world to me and I will miss you deeply. You are the best dad anyone could ask for and I am privileged to call you my dad. I love you.

What a great husband, father and grandfather you are. I always envied Michele for having such a dedicated father who helped her with EVERYTHING as much as you did and you actually enjoyed it!!
