It's funny , Bob popped into my head yesterday ...was wondering why that was but I got the call late because I was sick ....I apolgize for not being at his wake ...you dad was abig part of my younger years when he gave me a job as his Pizza maker at Sanfratello's 11th and state all I had to do was make a pie for "The Guys" at the head table ....if they were happy I got the job...you guesssed right they liked it .I continued to work for your Dad and had my days of driving him crazy but that never scared me away ....I also remember working for him up until the day I had a second daughter as I wobbled out of there that nite Bob yells at me over the counter "see you tomorrow kid ? " I said I doubt it very much and the one thing that sticks in my head was "his smirk" I think you all know that look ....I could go on and on but that would take up acouple of pages , just know you had a great dad and great husband and and awesome FRIEND .. no matter how hard headed he was and he loved each and everyone of you . I will miss him dearly ..May our Lord Jesus be with you all in this time of sorrow . God Bless .......Peggy sue

Sorry to hear about Bob's passing. We had many deals together over the years. He had a very interesting personaltiy and I never knew what he was going to do next - it was always a surprise. He made me laugh and scratched my head a few times. I enjoyed his friendship and him being a client of mine over the last 15 + years. What a great guy and I'll miss him. John Moauro
