Uncle Bobby you will be missed by many because you were loved by so many! As for me, Lisa and the boys we are just a few among the many, whose lives you touched in such a wonderful way! We were all blessed to have had you in our lives! I know you are up in heaven right now setting them all straight on how things need to be done going forward now that you are there! I am sure my father was shocked to see you but I am certain you guys have already had your first argument! Anyway you will always be loved and missed by so many! Our only comfort comes from knowing that you are resting in peace!

I was shocked to see the obit. I worked w/Bobby on asphalt for the City in 1985-1987. He attended my wedding and on rain days we only got paid 2 hrs show-up pay so we'd go to Chinatown for dim sum then go bowling. He was one of the strongest guys I ever met without lifting weights & he always cared for his mom. I know he'll be a crusader for the good because he was always a stand up guy. RIP Bobby.

I still can't believe you're gone. You were like a father to me. I can't express how much you meant to me. I'm so sorry you did not get to meet Baby Brielle but I know she'll have an angel watching over her now. I love and miss you deeply.
