Dear Carol, Vicki, Debbie, Rob, Butch and Danielle and Colleen, 
I am deeply sorrow for your loss.  The photo of him that you posted says it all. I loved Bob's smile, his laugh and his humor. I really enjoyed the war stories he would talk about. He was so smart. He was a gentle man and a most loving man. You all gave him the best life, especially you dear Carol. Yours was surely a marriage made in Heaven. There are no words to say to comfort you. Know that he is with Jesus and there is no pain in Heaven. God love all of you. Bob will surely be missed. 
Deepest sympathy,
Denise Valentini

Just heard about Bob passing today! I am so sorry for your loss. He was an great man and an excellent Dad. I knew him well from BSA Troop 701, and we had some hilarious times at Lil-Aaron Strauss Wilderness area. He was a tough guy and I remember him sleeping on the cabin floor with his bad hip. I can also tell you that he raised a fine, moral son.  And boy, did he have a hearty laugh! He is missed.

Please except our condolences. Special memories of our boys and families through the years. May God bring you peace and comfort during this time.


Carol and the family . We want you all to know we are sorry to hear of Bob passing. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all.  He surely will be missed.

I can remember when Carol and I were visiting Aunt Margie, and Uncle Jerry. From the time Carol met Bob it definitely was love at first site . Carol cried  all the way home . They had a nice wedding ,Carol looked beautiful. Three  precious children to follow , A sweet and caring Granddaughter. 
Love and sympathy 

My first memories of Bob was when he came to meet our family on Grant St. I remember thinking how handsome he looked and how lucky Carol was to have him. Even though he took her away to live in Baltimore. Once when we came up to visit, you had a crab boil and Bob was smoking a piece a beef he put on early in the morning.  He sat there all day by that smoker and it was the best meat I ever tasted. When you guys were at my house he would sit on my back porch all day and bird watch. He knew the names of every bird that landed on my feeder.  He was just that kind of man you fall in love with just by knowing him.  I will always be his "skinny minnie" and he will forever live in my heart.  I only wish we lived closer. You all our in my prayers and thoughts. Bobby gives his love to you too. My deepest sympathy!!

Always loved when Uncle Bob and Aunt Carol came to visit us. He would tell me jokes, always wanting to make me laugh.
Tonight I made chicken  like he showed me years ago, using dry Italian dressing in the package.  I respected,  and looked up to him. He was a great listener...so knowledgeable . 
I remember him watching Paul, Tom and Bobby working on Moms house...he seemed to enjoy it so.. 
I will miss him....Prayers for Aunt Carol and the family.  Love to all.
