My mother and I wanted to express our deepest sympathy for Bob's passing to his dear wife, Rosy, children and the entire family. We remember Bob as a very dear, smart and friendly person. He was always ready to give me advise on anything I would ask him and I loved his curiosity and love for model trains and his awesome set upon trains in the basement, It was like a certified railroad museum. I know he is in peace now and for that I am happy but we will miss him and remember him always. Carol and Grace Valladares.
Peace of mind is a call away. We're here when you need us most.

Papa, We shared a “love” that filled each other’s voids. I missed my dad, who was a dear friend to you, and you missed “your girls”. I only know this because you would often remind me “Crown Molding”. I will forever cherish our 30 years together, but especially the last 6 years that I helped my mom take care of you. I thank you for the many memories we shared together, but especially for being so special to my children and grandkids (your great-grandkids). I will forever miss you, but I know you are now resting and in a much better place. So, it’s not goodbye, and always remember how much “I LOVE YOU” until we meet again. ❤️ ~ Evelyn
