Condolences he was a good man and  a good friend

I can't remember a time that Bob wasn't smiling or joking. The Rubacky home was my 2nd home for my years of high school. The dodder were always open. He was always outnumbered by all of us girls and Ellie...and he seemed to be in his element! Thank you for great memories because of your loving kindness. You will live on in my sweet memories. It will be a joyful day when your family sees you again! I know you will ever be near them, pulling whatever strings you can on their behalf from beyond the veil. To Ellie, Linda, Karen, Donna, and all the family...my prayers will be for your strength, Divine comfort, loving support from friends, understanding, peace, and faith to greet each new day. I love you all.

Cheers to a wonderful long life full of love, football games, Caruso's, endless tales, boxed wine, and odd shirts. I am honored to be your granddaughter. Your spirit lives on in family and friends forevermore; what a legacy you leave on this world. Til next time grandpa we love you Love always, 
the one who inherited that Rudolph nose of yours :)

It has been a privilege to know Bob these past years.His kindness to us went way beyond all expectations, not just in words, but in deeds. He loved and gave himself for his family, and leaves a huge emptiness there. There will be deep comfort in sweet memories

Bob,

I know you're in a happy place. I know you're never going to be forgotten.  You were one of the good guys.  Cheers, to you.  I'll see you again, my friend.

Bob, you will be missed.Our lives are better for knowing you. Ellie,girls you are in our thoughts and prayers. No words can take the pain away,but time can help.

Bob, You have always been a wonderful husband, father, grandfather, great grandfather, and friend.  I always looked forward to seeing you and Ellie 
and have special memories of great times at your house since your daughter, Karen, became my best friend in 1973. I could always count on escaping my boring quiet house by coming to yours where there would be lots of good Italian food, noise, 
arguing and love.  Your loving, friendly and upbeat personality will always be a cherished memory and you will be terribly missed by many.

To a wonderful grandpa and a greatgrandpa that loved everyone and in our hearts we will remember the good times we had together and soon we all will be up there together again having fun. All the grandkids will miss all the loving he had done but they will also be up there when time comes to spend those happy times they missed. In our hearts we still love you and looking down on us to protect us from everything. Love you grandpa and great grandpa

You are the Daddy of my longest-time friend and I will always remember your warm and friendly disposition, your sweet smile, your great light-hearted humor and your distinguished voice.

May God bless and comfort your beautiful wife and family as they sink into the loving memories of your life.

Over sixty years of friendship - so many wonderful memories of card games together lasting through the weekend.  We didn't hve much money then but we had each other and thus so much fun.

Bob is at peace now but we will always remember his fun loving and caring ways.  We love you Ellie and know that your family will comfort you during this difficult time.  Deepest sympathy and love to you and all the family.  Forever friends, Maria & Phil Aponte
