I have too many fond memories of grandpa to list.  Some of my most recent ones are my favorite though. It was so much fun introducing him to my daughters. He had a love for babies that was incredible. I loved sitting next to him at Sunday dinners or at his house with the babies and he would play with their hands and faces and give them kisses. I feel so blessed that my girls got to spend time with him. They may not remember it, but I always will. I love you grandpa. 

So very sorry for the loss of your father, grandfather, great-grandfather and friend.  Many heartfelt prayers to all in your time of sorrow.  The memories are etched in your hearts forever...find peace in that. 

Much Love,
The Smith Family
Dave, Kathy, Shawn, Mike & Katie

Dad worked hard, but also played hard. My fondest memory will always be of him asking my younger brothers and myself at a very young age what we wanted him to do for us before we went to bed at night. It was either have him read to us or have our bare feet tickled while gathered together on the floor in front of him. Either one made for pleasant dreams.  Rest  peacefully, Dad. 

Whenever I think of mostaccioli I think of my Uncle Bob cuz he made the best mostaccioli sauce in the whole wide world!  

One morning when I was very young and I think getting ready for school and my parents had gone to work it was still dark outside and I remember calling my Uncle Bob because I was scared because I told him there was a flying saucer in the sky and I was serious, what a laugh he must of  had and thought I was probably crazy too, LOL! 

My Uncle Bob was a jokester and I have so many good funny memories of him growing up when I was a child. My mom dad and I was always over my aunt Bernadine and Uncle Bob's house and my 9 cousins whom I love very dearly.  R. I. P.  Uncle Bob,  I love you !!!

There is no 1 particular memory. I always loved when he was around us. I was always happy in his presence, regardless if he was playing cards with his adult kids or visiting with the grandkids. He filled the room with a feeling of safety and love. I will say the oldest memory I have is of him sitting in his recliner in the house on Millstone (I believe that’s the name of street)and us going over to visit. He always seemed happy to see us. 

One of dads favorite places to go.....VEGAS!!! Great memories with him and family.  I'm pretty sure he is sitting at the black jack table with Bobby and others in that great casino upstairs!!  Rest in peace dad.  I love you and miss you!

Love,
