Bo, as we called him was my  room mate at San Jose State. We met in our first year at SJSU.  We roomed together for three years.  Bo, Ric, our other room mate and I would stay up nights talking about just everything, family, life, goals,etc.  After graduating from SJSU, we went separate ways, but Bo remained in my mind and heart, and I will cherish our friendship forever.  My prayers are with his family.  Rest in peace my brother.  Wish we could have spent more time together.  However, I thank God for the times we shared.

Bob was a wonderful person. My dad and Bob used to work together at Montgomery Ward. He was a salesman and dad was working in the men's department doing alteration. Him and my dad became good friends. Every time we have a party my dad invited Bob that's how we meet him and got to know him. As time goes by He became so close to our family. And my dad invited him to go to the Philippines that how He meet my cousin Imelda. Love at first sight, that what he told my dad. Next time he went back to the Philippines, he asked for my cousin's hand. Bob the families loved you. And you will be missed. Your with the Lord now. Rest in Peace. Tell we meet again. To my cousin Imelda words can't describe the pain your going through right now, but it will get better as the day goes by. If you need someone to talk to I am here. And to Melynda and Shakira we love you guys always. Our deepest sympathy to all of you.

Bob was always such a joy to be around. He was kind, funny and his smile lit up the room. He had a special way of making everyone feel welcome and important. You could see the pride and love he had for his family radiate from him. He sure knew how to master a BBQ too. He will truly be missed by so many. It was an honor to know him and be a part of his family.

I'll never forget the comfort Bob gave my wife Sommai in the struggle for her life.

I remember Bob when we work together at Hewlett Packard in the Fab midnight shift. I will always see his big smiles as soon as I enter the lab, and will keep me awake until the shift ended in the morning. He's such a wonderful human being and great person to work with. RIP bob.

I will never forget Bob's deep talks, his bright smile, generous hospitality, and delicious BBQ. He was a blessing to all that knew him and now an Angel watching over the family he loved so much and worked so hard for. Rest in peace Beautiful Soul.

I will never forget your laugh and the way you brightened up a room, the long conversations that you used to have with my grandpa in our living room. You were a great person and you will be carried on in the hearts of all your friends and family.

For God has called another child home gone but never forgotten rest easy

Blessed to have known Bob..such a wonderful person. My life has been forever changed with him & his family in it. He will be deeply missed as he hovers over as an angel now. I send much love & wish comfort to his family.

Bob you were a wonderful human being and leave behind a beautiful  wife, two beautiful daughters  and a handsome  grandson.  You had a sense of humor  that brightened up everyone's day.  You will be truly missed but never forgotten.  Rip ❤
