Bob was more then just a step-father to me. He came into my life when i was young and through the years never once did he let me down. I was on my own most of my life but what ever state i lived in my mother, bob and frank would always come to visit me so i was never without family. Bob will surely be missed by me. He made me a better man today thanks to his advice. It will not be the same without him at the family gathering now, but i will always have a place in my heart for him even that he's far away . I remember that bob always had a dish in hand eating moms good cooking and never missed getting his share. Bob i know your reading this as i type this and know what i say is true and the words come from my heart. Love you so much & miss you... Your Son SAL

Bob was a good man . Three years ago he opened his home to me. He was so sweet. I will never forget that i miss him so much. Waken up to see Bob on the chair watching tv. or sitting at the table eating, and boy did he like to eat. When he got sick it was so sad to watch him not to do the things he enjoyed.
I will miss u dearly Love always your buddy Michelle.

Joyce & Gene Kapinos

Rose,
Gene & I have only known you & Bob since Beth & Frank started dating. The story of how you & Bob came together made a such an impression on us. He was a wonderful, caring man to take on the responsibility and love the 5 children of the woman he loved. Not an easy thing to do. And, to add one more, Frank, to the brood. Truly, a man to be respected. He is now at rest & healed, still keeping his eye on things from the Heavens.
Love, Joyce & Gene

Oh my dear friend Rose, I just now found out about the sad news of Bob's passing. I only met him a couple of times, but he was a genuine and loveable man. I remember a time he used to forward me all kinds of crazy jokes to my AOL mail. Most times he thought they were funnier than I did, but we would exchange comical wit back and forth. So sad to think I won't ever receive those jokes from him anymore. My heart goes out to you and your family. I know how very much you loved him and you two were such a great couple. My heart breaks for you, but now Brian won't be alone. He and Bob are up above with the angels now...probably both about to play practical jokes on all of us. May he rest in peace. Treasure all the memories you had with your precious Bob because, in an entire lifetime, some people never find the kind of love you both shared. Will miss you Bob!!!!!

I wish I could be half the man you were.

No matter what, you were always there for everyone and provided for your wife; my mother.

You talked and many times people DID NOT listen at their misfortune. You were wise and sharp. Sometimes the truth hurts!

If this life is a hologram, I'll see you after the simulation ends.

R.I.P.
Your son.

A good man Bob was. Only god takes the best. I had the pleasure of meeting him well over 25 years ago. I was welcomed in to his home with open arms 2 times through out my life. He was one of the very few people in my life who had a true heart of gold. He treated me as if I was one of his own at times and was always there if i needed a helping hand with a car repair. a ride, or even advice. Some of his advice I still use to this day to get through life. I always remember him smiling, and just being a laid back, down to earth and cool kind of guy. There is a special place in my heart for Bob that will always be there. I will remember you forever. Any thought of you will always bring a smile to my face. Rest in peace Bob, you have out done your share to make my world a better place.
