    We were shocked and deeply saddened to hear the world lost a man so great as Bobby. We knew him through Pizzettas and he always brightened our day with that contagious smile of his. We are so very sorry for your loss and will keep you all in our thoughts and prayers. We will truly miss Bobby. I like to think that every kind act is a reminder of Bobby because he had that generous, kind sprit. Every time I see an act of kindness, I'll remember his smile and the great man behind it.

    Knew Bobby from Verizon Wireless & then at Pizzetta's. He was one of the nicest people I've ever known. When my husband & I left NC for Fl in May, we had to say see ya soon. Floured apron & all we hugged. He was a bright star & will shine forever. Our hearts go out to his family. God Bless you all.
