Your words of wisdom, funny stories, and most of all your coaching will be sorely missed.  I am very glad I got to know you.

To Norma and all of Bob's family, 

I'm so sorry to hear this news. Bob was a great boss, a terrific photographer and an enlightened soul who never lost that 70's spirit of joy and possibility.   I'll always remember him with great fondness.

To all the family of Bob. my condolences and love for all the past. Ken McKenzie

Norma............I'm so sorry. De was the rock of the class of '60. But most of all he was a friend that inspired us all and brought us so much joy.  I know he will always be in our thoughts and wish that he could be there for all of those time that we all would love to share with him. I for one, will treasure the memories of a very special friend.

I was very saddened by the news of Bob's passing. I always think of him fondly and say that he was the best boss that I have ever had the pleasure of working with.
Rest in Peace.

My sincere condolences to your family.  May God bless and take care of your entire family.   Bonnie (Termeg) Fraley

From a slim student at Emerson High School with a great personality, he became a hugely successful realtor also with a great personality. Bravo Bobby D for living a good life.  Sincere condolences to his loved ones.

Dearest Norma, Alec, Jason, Felice, Erin, Jonathon, & Ann,  I am so sorry for your loss.  Bob was a wonderful man. I picture him holding a big fish with a grin on his face -- from a mailing sent long ago.  It was on a wall in my den for long time.  Every time I pass one of his green and yellow real estate signs, I grin and feel proud to have been his friend.  Norma, my heart breaks for you.

So sorry to have read this.  We will try and be there over the weekend.

Lynne & Ira

My deepest condolences to the De Ruggiero family. May you find comfort in the promise God has made that we will see our loved ones again, as written in His Word.  This promise we can be sure will come true.

Dad,

You are in our hearts forever.  I couldn't have asked for a better father.  You are a big part of who I am.  So glad you are in a better place with Grandpa and Grandma De.  Norma, we all love you lots.

Love Always,

Felice & Peter xxooo

Sending you love, Norma.  Wish we could be there to support you.

Warmly,  Michelle, Drew, Madeline, and Noa Denker

My Dearest Jay,
My heart breaks for you and yours today.  I know that Robert De Ruggiero was a great man, only because I know you.  You are smart, caring, funny, handsome, loving, intuitive, sensitive, strong, insightful, giving, intelligent, energetic, tenacious, generous, compassionate, kindhearted, artistic and larger than life.  You have a gift of making everyone in your presence feel better about themselves; you linger with them because you improved who they are by being you.  You are a gift and I thank your father for you.
Thank you for being his incredible son...he lives on through you as my father lives on through me.
My heart aches for you today and I am truly sorry.  I know God is holding your heart.
You are so special...
Esther Sue
