I am so sorry to hear of Bob's passing and that I missed paying my respects. I have such good memories of growing up with Bob on Lakewood,With Butch, Gary, Bill and Donnie H,and Rickey Z. When we all thought we were the tough guys of Lakewood and Addison. I am sorry that we lost touch. Dumpy Tuna aka Stephen Clarke

Every time I see a Corvette,hear Bobby Darin,or watch Pope of Greenwich Village I'll remember you, oh so affectionately. I'll miss your raspy voice telling a story looking over the top of your glasses as you explain the unfolding of the days events as you hold our interest while we wait for the punch line, But my favorite Bobby memory will be watching you out of the corner of my eye, you and Ro harmonizing with Frankie Valli while we enjoy the Jersey Boys,it was Twins at their finest. Your Uncle Bobby to my boys,and you gave great hugs. Our condolences to the entire Faraci family, your going to be greatly missed by your family, Especially your womb mate.May our prayers and God keep you safe. You are loved so much. Patty

Words fall short of expressing my sorrow for your loss.
I remember many exploits with Bob and my younger brothers Tom and John in our old neighborhood growing up. Now it's sadly called Wrigleyville.
Peace be with your family-Mary Mc Carthy Guidara

So sorry to hear that Bobby has passed before his time.
We had a lot of fun and laughs together in the 60's and early 70's. I suppose that he is up in heaven now helping his dad with the paper stand like the good old days. May God bless him and all the Faraci's. Good folk, every one of them. Amen.

Words fall short of expressing my sorrow of hearing of Bob's passing.
Many memories of youthful exploits of Bob and a couple of my brothers
hanging on Grace St. before becoming Wrigleyville.

I will miss Bobby's calls and the laughs we shared. Funny the silly things I remember most. One was a family gathering that we ate fried chicken and had many laughs. My love to the wonderful family he has.
