My deepest sympathy to all the Tagliola family. I knew Bobby for many years thanks to Jimmy Ramelli. He even sold me my house. I have so many fond memories of both of them when they helped me feel so welcome in Forest Park many years ago.

To the Tagliola Family,
How many people can say they've had 81 visitors in one day to the hospital? With Bob you can totally understand why. A good friend to many, always smiling, joking, upbeat, and never a bad word about anyone. He would always say everyone should get along and life is too short to argue. He will be truly missed by many but he definitely is one person who we would all say we were proud to have known him.

My heartfelt sympathy to Bobbie's wife and children and to you Tony, Paul Al and "Chubbie". Bobbie was the sweetest of you brothers and he had the most beautiful smile. He was a good friend who always made you feel special. I will offer Mass for Bobbie and you, his family and I ask God to give you peace knowing that Bobbie is with Him smiling down on you. God bless you.

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.
Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, ""I welcome you.""
It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man.
God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.
When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.
I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.
There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.
If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......""My day was not in vain.""
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.
So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.
And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.

My deepest sympathy to the entire Tagliola family. I went to grade school with Bob and would run into him periodically when my parents still lived in Forest Park and he had the store. A truly nice guy gone far too soon. May God be with you.
