"I grew up with Robert J and actually think that I coined his beloved nickname that has stayed with him, Robert J. He was a man with a heart larger than himself. A man of impeccable integrity. A man of kindness and warmth. A man who always greeted you with a smile, handshake or a hug. A man who always asked about you and never made the conversation about him.....except when he anxiously talked about his beloved family. A man who I admired from childhood to adulthood. A man that I will never, ever forget! Until we meet again, Robert J. Your friend eternally. Rest in peace my dear friend!"

"My sympathies to the family. Bob was a great and fun loving kid. We delivered newspapers together ad had fun hanging out in the paper station waiting for the papers to arrive. We also played some street football together. We had a fun and active neighborhood with lots of kids, and he was part of that. A lot of great memories. May he “Rest In Peace “"
