Over the years, I knew Bob he became a valued client and then friend. What a nice guy! It was an honor to work for him on behalf of Pauly Jail over the years and he will be sorely missed by all who knew and loved him. My sincere condolences to all.

Bob… you were truly a most generous, kind & loving man. I am truly glad and most privileged to have know you. You and Don aided me through some of my lifes many storms.
I had so much fun with you. I always knew when we were going out we were definitely in for a good time.
I have been in I’ll health for some time. The 60’s have not been my friend. I have emphysema & on 02 but would have definitely come to the funeral. The last time I came to big Don’s funeral I was met with and told I was not welcome and to leave. Never understood the treatment I got that day nor will I ever forget it!
But this is about Bob. I am grateful for knowing Bob for so many years.
I feel good about introducing Bob to Don so many years ago. It was love at first sight.
You all have my many prayers I say several times a day and I will certainly enroll Bob in Perpetual masses at the Shrine of the Miraculous Medal. They will pray for him daily and light candles for him in repose of his soul. One more angel has gotten their wings.
Rest well my dear friend…
