Dear Roberto, 
It is now 5 long years since you passed away and I remember you with affection and regret that we did not have the opportunity to share so many things together.
With much affection, your friend
Randall

Roberto,
Today is the 5th anniversary of your sad death and I remember you with much affection and regret that our friendship was cut short with so many things that we still wanted to share together. 
Until we meet again, I remain your friend.
Randall

Can’t help but think of you all the time because of this little guy, Pico, who is thriving and enjoying his life!  Wherever you are, Rob, just know that he’s being looked after and is so loved.

Dear Rob:
I've been mourning your loss so much this week.  I didn't find out that you had passed until August of 2020.  It crushed me.  And I reached out then to a few of your friends, but never heard back.  I don't know what happened, but I hope that your soul is now at peace.
I want you to know that I treasured our many years together, and think of you often.  Memories are all that is left now, and I choose to keep close the good ones.   Me taking you to see the Atlantic Ocean for the first time.  You introducing me to Harry Potter and putine at our first movie outing.  The thrill of seeing your art inadvertently exhibited at the top of the CN tower when you took me there.  And cajoling you to attend your art college graduation; I was so proud of you.  I remember how gracious your family was in welcoming me to their Thanksgiving table; and how your mother always had a lasagna ready when we went to visit.  And your love of miniature golf, and Colby, my boston terrier.  I will remember the many times we laughed and teased each other.  It's these memories and more that will live on in me.
I have a copy of the children's book you illustrated, and it is one of my most treasured belongings.  Your talent was undisputed.  I did love you, and I know you loved me.  I'm still heartbroken that you are gone, but I will always remember you!

Remembering you Roberto on the 4th anniversary of your death. 
I will never forget you. 
Your friend,
Randall

Dear Rob, 
It has been 3 years now without you.  Remembering you always. 
With love, your friend.  
Randall

Dear Rob,  
It has been 2 long years yesterday since you left us.  Remembering you always with love. 
Your friend, 
Randall

Robert was a very sweet and talented guy. We had lost touch for many years and for some reason tonight I just Googled his name, hoping to look at some of his artwork perhaps and see what he had been up to. I'm not on Facebook or Instagram but I did find this on the internet. It's very sad that he is gone so soon.

Rob, 
Remembering the good times that we shared and the tragedy of your death one year ago today.  I am confident that because of our shared faith in Him, someday we see each other again. I will remember you forever.  
Your friend, 
Randall  

It was just today I learned of Rob’s passing almost three months ago. Needless to say, I am beyond shocked and saddened - what a profound  tragedy. We weren’t close friends, but knew each other through an elderly mutual friend several years ago. When our friend passed away, Rob had me over a few times to his apartment and I was bowled over by his immense talent as an artist and computer animator - he must have been among the best in the business.  How proud he was when he showed me “The Nuclear Family.” 

We lost touch after he moved to the east end and only saw each other sporadically after that. I thought  of reaching out several times, but never did – why is hindsight always 20/20?  I’m sure Pico brought him great joy- I assume Simon passed away quite some time ago.

Rob, I truly hope you’re in a better and kinder place now – you left us far too soon and the world has been deprived of your innumerable gifts. To Rob’s family and friends, I offer my sincere condolences. 

I  hope we meet again.


Rob,
You became a very dear friend to me over the last several months.  I am heart broken beyond words over this tragedy.   I cherish the times we had reading the Bible together and discussing politics and the Christian faith.   I take comfort in your recent email when you said that you had "asked Jesus to come into your life as Saviour".   I know that I will see you again in heaven.  
Love, 
Your friend, 
Randall

Rob , you will be profoundly missed my friend . I promise I will remember all the times we shared  .  

                                            Rest In Peace.     Christopher 

I was a friend of Roberto for many years. He was a talented artist and computer animator. He also worked on animated TV shows. He was a light gone out far too soon. I hope he is in a better place. God speed Roberto!

Uncle Robert, 
You gave me my first sketchbook, which I still have. I was just a kid, doodling when you gave me this massive book full of paper and your own sketches. That simple act of kindness led me down a path full of pencils, paint and art. For that I am thankful beyond words. As the now proud keeper of your sketchbooks and art, I feel the incredible privilege of honouring your work. One of my favourite pieces was a portrait of Nonno; which is a piece of both Nonno and you. Your work is an inspiration, and a place of solace where you can continue to teach me. Thank you for giving me art, for showing me how to be a goof, and how to live through paper and paint.

Love, 
Melissa

Hey Rob...it’s all good.  You’re in a place that you felt was better.  No one is disputing that.  Hugs. Big hugs. 
Pico is having a blast in his new home and doing exactly what you’d hoped. Thriving. 
Miss you.  Pico says thank you.  
As do we.  
Adam and Chris #2. 

Roberto was the youngest of five children- he was my baby brother. Our family came from Italy in 1969 which would have made Rob  3 years old. I wish I could say that moving to Canada was an easy transition- but it was not. We didn’t know the language, we had no family and the culture shock was very real. 
Rob was very talented, he studied fine arts at OCAD, travelling to Vancouver to further study 3D animation. It is unfortunate that the world will not be privy to his wonderful works such as The Nuklear Family and his amazing paintings. 

It is with sadness that we, his family mourn the passing of our brother who is gone too soon. We only hope that he finds himself in a much better place. 

Rob, if there is an after life I can only hope that you find happiness there~
