It is difficult to imagine him not being around anymore.  He had some jokes and boyish sarcasm about him expressed in the smirk of his smile.  He was definitely a charmer, whether on your behalf or at your expense.  He lived quite a few lives and all of you were a part of them.  On behalf of my sister Tori, mother Karen and myself we not only thank you but celebrate you for being a part of his life, as his story lives on as of part of your narratives.  We will miss him dearly.  And if you were ever in a conversation with him on the phone, you know it all to well - B-Y-E.

A classic....
Such great memories.
A grunt but  with a wonderful underside. 
We will miss you and  please save room at the “After  Leoland Party” for the rest of us. Start the party up with  Loft and Gags.
Miss you my friend💔

I was in the same fraternity as Bobby...Or better known on campus as "Tut"   Tut was a St.Leo legend..that tends to happen when you spend 10 years in college.
Tut would walk around campus with another fraternity's shirt on...saying he was an honorary brother of that frat. Normally that would cause  a big problem with the frats, but with Tut people just laughed it off.
The irony was that the two frats played each other for the Inter- fraternity football championship.
He quarterbacked us..we won..you could see his true allegiance..It was the first time our frat had won the football championship. I remember him being so happy.
Bobby liked to put on this rough exterior..but inside he was a soft gentle soul.
Thanks for the good times and memories my friend.
Peace be with you and the family.
Love Master

Saint Leo Memories.
The King was larger than life on the Saint Leo Campus. He was one of those few students whom everyone on campus knew. Either as TUT or The King. He originally performed a  "King TUT Mock Celebration" skit on Talent Night ....and that was it. He was either TUT or The King after that. As he became more Senior in campus he was simply known as The King.  I remember riding in the back seat of Vinnie LaBella's car (King's Roomate) while Bobby was driving. He was kind of all over the road....not from drinking....just kind of owning the road....I said...King what lane are you driving in.....his response..."The Kings Lane"...Frankie we're in the King's Lane.  OK Boss. We're in The Kings Lane. 
The true friend....Brother....and Mentor.
From the Saint Leo University Brotherhood....you will live forever.
Good Luck in your new journey....Everlasting Life in Gods House.

Saying farewell is one of the heaviest words we know especially when it is time to say goodbye to someone you really admire.
Bobby I will always be grateful to you for hiring me at Casino Express.
I'll miss going with you and our friends to the Fish fry in Nassau, and eating conch salad and conch fritters, we always had a good time there.
It's hard to accept that you're gone Bobby, you will be greatly missed.
Farewell, 
Bobby
 


Dear Bobby.....For so many years you were a part of my life.  We were co-workers.  You were my boss.  But most of all you were my friend.  We shared laughs and stories and advice and confidences.  We agreed on some things and butted heads on others.  
You always played tricks on me, like hiding my glasses and not giving them back until I was frantic from looking for them.  You'd tell me ridiculous stories and when I believed them you'd laugh at me for being so gullible.  You were like the annoying big brother I never had but always wanted.
You had a tough exterior but a really big heart inside.   You were such an amazing dad to your girls.  I remember when you took them to the Indian Princesses.  I thought how fabulous you were.  You loved Karen and Nicole and Tori so much and anyone who really knew you could see that love in your eyes. You beamed with pride when you talked about your family.  
You wanted people to see that grumpy tough exterior, but I always saw that heart you hid inside.  I am so happy to have had our friendship.  I am so sad for the loss of you.  I am so angry that you are gone too soon.
I will miss buying you Tommy Bahama shirts for your birthday every year.  I will miss your  bigger than life smile, your scowl, your sarcasm, your wit, your big big heart and even your grumpiness.  I will miss so many things about you.  I guess I will just miss You.
I know that in the Heaven where you are the Sun is shining always and every day is a warm beach day and every night the casino is open and a craps game going.  You have unlimited credit and a never ending amount of "7's" and "11's" on the come out and you are rolling numbers like crazy and having winning rolls to last an eternity.
You will forever be missed and loved by all who knew you and never forgotten my dear friend, Bobby.

Bobby,  was bigger than life. He always treated my mother and myself, like we were his special guests, when we were lucky  enough, to travel with him.  I will remember him, his sense of humor and his kindness.  See you on he other side, Bobby. 💫

In the 90s we met Bobby, cheerful, smiling and always willing to help with everything in travel, he was a leader in his work but very human. We really felt his sudden departure, his family has to feel very proud of him. Rest in peace.

"Chris" and I came up from kindergarten up through Marist High School. A great athlete and student. But I will remember him for being one of the kindest most generous  human beings that I have and will ever know. Rest well my friend. 

I went to St. Vincent de Paul, and Marist with Bobby. He was a great guy. Treated everyone the same,  with politeness and respect.  My deepest condolences to his family and friends. May you find peace in the days ahead. Aramis Potter  

SO SORRY TO HEAR HIS PASSING.  BEST WISHES TO THE ENTIRE FAMILY AND OFFICE STAFF. I LOST MY LOVED ONE GOING ON 3 YEARS NOW AND IT STILL HURTS. WE SHARED SO MANY NICE MEMORIES ON YOUR NUMEROUS TRIPS.  I WILL ALWAYS REMEMBER THEM WITH DEEP FONDNESS. 

KAREN, NICOLE  and TORI,
So sorry to hear about Bobby, be assured that I am feeling the same sorrow as you at this time.  Ken passed away 3 days before Bobby.
They are together again at the Crap table at the Casino in the Sky!!!

We had a lot of memorable moments traveling from Casino to Casino on land and at Sea.  
BOBBY will always be remembered for his wittiness, infectious smile and his generosity.

Remember:  “Death leaves a memory no one can Heal and Love leaves a memory no one can Steal”
Rest In Peace my friend until we meet again.

Jean Perro and family❤️

Met Bobby about 6 years ago when I was invited on my first trip with CASINO EXPRESS.  He was a vibrant, playful man.  As the years rolled on, we noticed him looking different, as his health took a toll on him, and he was not so vibrant and playful anymore, and definitely not having fun.   So sorry to hear of his passing.  He was still young, but when God calls you home, you have to go.    We will always remember him fondly.  Sincere sympathies to his wife Karen, his daughters and the rest of his family and everyone at CASINO EXPRESS.  May he RIP.   Eva and Jaime Mejia

King Tut

You were the man,
The one with the varsity
Letters lined across your chest.
A boy from Jersey
With the mouth of a wise a**,
And the persuasion of a messiah.
You took no shit and no one gave you any.
You ate peaches and threw away the pits.
You were it man,
You were it.

You solved a problem
In the absence of work,
And you were always right.
You just knew,
And that was it man,
That was it.

You graduated, 
Threw your cap
And cheered.
Time to move on man,
Where the sun kissed in January
And beaches tanned in May.
Where you met your fountain of youth
Bubbling with hops and barley alike.

And you were the man
Again among your peers
Their Adam.
Their Alexander.
Their David.
But you were summoned
Neither of the three.
A youth drunk with power,
You were their King, 
Their King Tut
Off on an oasis
None would reach.

And you were it man, 
You were it.

A pharaoh praised
Higher than Rah,
The Sphinx bowed,
You disturbed all of Egypt
You were it King Tut man, 
You were it.

Now with bandages tighten
And tomb shell shut
I hear your silence hieroglyphic cry
But it’s not it King, 
It’s not it.

-	Nicole Crisonino - 2008


Stand by Me
Ben E. King

When the night is come and the land is dark 
And the moon is the only light we'll see 
I won't be afraid, I won't be afraid 
Just as long as you stand by me 
Stand by me, stand by me, stand by me 
Won't you stand by me 
Oh woo oh, stand by me, stand by me
And when the sky that we look upon 
Should crumble and fall 
And the mountain should crumble to the sea 
I won't be afraid, I won't shed a tear 
Just as long as you stand, stand by me 
Stand by me, stand by me, stand by me 
Stand by me 
Oh woo oh, you oughta stand by me, stand by me 
Stand by me, stand by me, stand by me 
Oh woo oh, stand by me

All my love, 
Karen
