Robert had a warm heart and unstoppable sense of humor. He was one of a kind. If you called him Bob or Rob or Rob Bob, you knew him as a great friend. He was treasured by all who knew him. He loved to enjoy the simple things in life like time with friends and family, watching his kids Elisa and Anthony grow up and enjoy life, riding the ferry to Martha's Vineyard, walks on the beach, sunsets, cooking his signature holiday dishes, bike rides and great music.

He was blessed with a daughter Elisa and son Anthony that he adored. He took great pride in watching them grow up. From the moment they were born, he was a dedicated loving father and supported every new step they took in life.
