Dear Roberta, I will always remember our trip to Germany in 1987 when I first started working for Bob at Savin. Warm thoughts and prayers are with you and your family as memories of a wonderful person endure forever.

Bob, I am sure wherever you are at this moment, you have added value, professionalism and lots of class! I enjoyed working with you at Savin, although never directly...I wish I had that opportunity! Everyone that I know that worked for you always say you were the best! My deepest condolences to the Raffa family as his parting created a major void in your lives. I am sure you have so so many great memories to get you all by. Joseph "Milo" Fuscaldo
