I'd like to thank all who attended Bob's memorial. It was nice to see you all support me and his family during this sad time. He will be truly missed.

The hospital is an uncomfortable place with forced low salt food diets and daily blood draws. To ease your discomfort, I would offer you a Philly Cheese. Sandy told me you were shocked at the final philly offer- The inside joke is that the offer was never for a final philly! I'm still buzzing around offering people a favorite food here and there. My last request from a friend was ribs and burnt ends from 4 Rivers... and you better believe I chuckled thinking of you!!!!  The rib guy is still here. You and your Philly C.S. order will live in my heart forever.

I want to start off with my condolences to the Gallo family and of course my mother. 

Bob was always a bit of an outsider. He was quiet and would keep to the sidelines. He'd let more talkative people like my mom take up space in the room. He was shy and a little socially anxious.
Growing up I was shy so I understood what it was like. 

I understood being nerdy and wanting to know how things work and liking sci-fi. I feel like I really saw Bob as the kind, funny, introverted person that he was. 

I'm sad that if I hadn't had such a dysfunctional and turbulent relationship with my father Bob and I could have been closer. 

I am glad however that he and my mom were able to have a happy life with Lexi and Bently and plenty of trips to Home Depot and lots of laughs. I also am glad that my mother was able to offer him as much support, attention, and care that he gave her and that he was able to find the partner he always wanted. 

Bob will be missed and I'm sure he's cracking jokes on the other side where he can lookover all the people he loved and watch over them with the quiet dignity he had in life.

My most deepest condolences to Sandra Venegas and the  Gallo family for the lost of Bob.
May the Lord comfort the family and friends.

MY Botherin law Bob, what can I say about him. He was kind very smart and loved how he took care of my sister Sandra and my mother. He was a  quiet person , but he knew when to talk. He had his own way of being funny. It was always good to see him laugh. We will miss him. My deepest condolences to my Sister Sandra who took good care of him throughout his ordeal, and also to the Gallo family.  He will now be with his mom and dad and his fur babies Bentley and Lexy who loves him dearly. Love you Bob!!

My condolences to Sandra and the Gallo family.  My memories with Bob were his ability to build and fix almost anything, and his knowledge of computers.  Thank you for loving Sandra, Bentley, and Lexie to the fullest. The doggos will be happy to see you again in heaven and I know you’ll always be watching over Sandra. Love you.

Sandra I am so very sorry  for your loss. Listening to the stories you have told about Bob, it is obvious what a wonderful person he was. He was so meticulous and could fix anything.  It is sad he had to sit back and watch the world go by.  God has plans for us all and we might not understand why.  You were such a wonderful loving wife and took such good care of him. Hope you get comfort knowing he is at peace. You are right if you have a question just ask what would Bob do. He is still watching out for you and looking down. You will feel him in a cool breeze or a butterfly going by.   If you need anything you know where to find me and Josie will always come with hugs.  Josie doesn’t always make friends easy but she sure loved her Uncle Bob. ❤️ Linda

We can well understand how much pain you are undergoing now.    Keep your faith in God & his kingdom.   God will get you through this crisis in your life.   You have our deepest condolences

Sandra my heart breaks for you.  Your love for Bob was so evident by everything you did for him.  Being new to the neighborhood you never know who your neighbors will be…God knew what his plan was, he knew we needed each other. Bob loved you dearly, rest easy knowing he is no longer sick.  He’s still got your back…just watching from above.  I’m so thankful for the friendship we have and only wish I could have gotten to know Bob better.   I’m here for you and anything you may need.  Maxine is always ready to give hugs, if you need one,  just open the back door and she’ll run right over.  Love always Christy

Miriam introduced me to Bob in the 90's. He was very quiet, and I was very outgoing. I wasn't sure If I wanted to continue dating him. But, once I really got to know him, he was very attentive and always thinking of ways of making our lives better together.  He was very smart and knew a little about everything.  He knew about finances, cars, carpentry, landscaping and of course computers. Any problem, he would figure out how to fix it.  I was working and going to school and sometimes wanted to give up. But he always encouraged me to continue even though I felt that I was neglecting the family.  No matter how many degrees I had, he was always smarter lol.  However, you'd never know it because he never boasted about anything.   He was a good husband who I could depend on and feel safe.  He always cared about my family, and they loved him very much.  My mom who had limited English loved him dearly and made him feel special.  I'm sure she greeted him in heaven, along with his Mom and Dad.  He also loved his dogs, Lexy and Bently.   I'm sure he's happy now to have them by his side.  
Sadley, when we bought our house in Florida, he got ill.  He had so many plans to tinker around the house using all his great skills, But God had other plans.  For 6 yrs he fought hard to get better. He never complained or said, "Why me?" He dealt with the long hospital stays etc.   Even until his last days, he accepted everything he endured and had no fear that the end was near.  It was difficult to watch him decline and physically disappear, but he kept his wit and sarcasm until the end.  He was mostly concerned about me, that I should be ok.  I always assured him that I would be alright.  Still, every time I have a question, I wish he was here to answer it.  I will miss him VERY much. I will still ask him questions, even though I won't get an answer.  I'll just ask myself, "What would Bob do?   Rest in peace my Love,
Sandra Venegas-Gallo

Memories of growing up with Bob

   My brother Bobby was 3 years younger than me.  He was extremely shy and very attached to my mom growing up.  She couldn’t leave him with anyone to watch him (even relatives) because he would be very upset without her. 
    Bob enjoyed building activities: tinker toys, electronic gadgets and most of all modeling clay! He had a small table in our laundry room where he would spend hours rolling the clay and building cities, people and creating his own adventures with it. If any adult saw this, they would be amazed by his ability at such a young age.  
   I remember him playing with our cousin Peter who was also quiet. You would never hear them yelling or even speaking. When you walked into the room they were talking so low amongst them that you could hear them.
  Of course, My brother Carmine and I would relentlessly tease him but since he was the “baby” we usually were the ones who got punished. 
  There is no other love like the love for a brother but in turn, there is no other love like a love from a brother. I know both my brothers are there for me when I need help. 
God bless Sandra for caring and loving Bob. She was a blessing when she came into Bob’s life. Our family is grateful that she gave him many years of happiness. And let’s not forget “Good Food”!
May God welcome you into his kingdom and rest in peace dear brother
Much love
Lorraine

Sandra,
My heart hurts for you on the lost of your husband. 
I also lost mine.  Bob is happy now and no more pain. 
You have a lot of good memories and Jesus on your side. Lean on him he’ll carry your pain.  I’m here for
You. 
God Bless You!

I worked with Bob in IT for Blue Cross & Blue shield  from 1982 to 2002. Later I joined the Board of Education and worked for district 75. One year I was sent to PS164  to work and became friends with Sandra Venegas. I was shocked when she told me she was married to Bob Gallo. I was invited to their home for a weekend to help Bob paint the house. This was when I really got to know Bob. He was so meticulous on how he liked things done. I was given instructions for 2 days, but I also met a great husband to Sandra and he loved his dogs. He was very giving and quick to give you financial information. My wife and I continued to visit Bob and Sandra in LI and then in Florida. Bob you will be missed, my sincere condolences to Sandra and Bobs family.

I will always cherish the times we visited his home in Long Island.  We certainly had some great meals, drinks and good laughs together. 
I remember the time when Bob helped us with making the “pasteles” too.  Besides loving his Italian food, he did have a good appetite for Puerto Rican food as well. 
Fondly, Annette

I first met Bob as a kid  when my mom brought me to her job for the day (they were coworkers). I remember thinking that he was so tall, and when asked by my aunt Sandra  what I thought he looked liked, I responded “he looks like a doctor”! I think his stature and him being in his shirt and tie, as a kid that’s the first impression he gave me. 
Sometime later he and Sandra married and he became family.  I remember him always watching Bob Vila and me thinking not only was he incredibly smart, but that he could fix anything. 
Thank you Bob for loving and being a great husband to Sandra and also for loving my mom. I know she thought the world of you and knew she could count on you if she needed anything. 
Rest easy Bob and give Lexie and Bentley all the belly rubs.

Bob--I still remember you while working at the world trade center--calling your desk concerned about you that faithful day--thank God you were home bringing your car in---Rest in Peace--love Sammy
