To the Robert Smith family.
I am very sorry for your loss. I remember the very first time I met Bob greeting him as he came into Gilda's Club for his very first men's prostate support group session/. Bob was such a wonderful friendly person. I so enjoyed talking with him and getting to know him at Community Chefs and other gatherings at Gilda's. He had such a terrific attitude about his prostate cancer and after-effects of surgery. He was a great example and provided comforting support to all of us in the men's group.
My sincere condolences to all of you. He will be missed.

Mrs. Smith,
I'm so sorry to hear that Mr. Smith has passed away. He was truly and naturally kind. He encouraged the young to get a grip on education. He has a warming and comforting personality that could calm a raging storm in others. Take comfort in knowing that you may one day see him again.
Karen, I was so very sorry to hear of the passing of your father in law. Sending my love, thoughts and prayers to you, your husband and his whole family. Bianca Gauthier
Please accept my sincere condolences for your loss! I was so saddened to learn of his passing. Bob was my patient and friend at America’s Best Contacts and Glasses. Over the many years, Bob and I had conversations about, family, life and The Lord. I know in my heart that Bob will be raised on The Last Day and walk in the eternal light of Our Savior. I am sure that he will be greatly missed as he was a great man, husband, father , grandfather and great grandfather!
Peace in Christ,
Dr. and Mrs. Robert Fischetto
Here was a man who had a peaceful personality, who with a smile welcomed me into his family. I had hoped to see more of him after his sudden battle with illness because I liked hearing him talk about his work and his camera, a tool that we enjoyed using. I thank God for anointing Daddy Robert to be an important personage in this family because I saw him do things that no other could, navigate and negotiate with family members in a low pleasant voice encouraging us to be kind despite the differences in personalities.
