I was very saddened to hear of Rob's passing. Even though it has been many years since I had seen Rob, I will always hold fond memories of growing up together on Creek St., from Cub Scout meetings in his parents basement, to learning how to ride his dirt bike to just hanging out together. To his family Ralph, Kathy, Ralph, and Trina I send my deepest sympathy.  R.I.P. old friend.    Phil

I am shocked as I just received word That Rob has passed ! I can't tell you all the amount of  times I have spoke of old times which we had shared together.  Just these last past months.... sharing old stories when we were kids. One of my favorites was when  we were older and how you used to surprise me and come back into town un-annouced  !!! Just the idea that you were here in town always put my x-husband on his best behavior !  Even though we shared a childhood sweetheart love.. it ment the world to me that you came to my wedding. My 16 year old daughter Marissa is dating a young man from Mcquaid. I have spent  countless hours sharing memories of my first love with her. Theres not a person really in my life that is not aware of who Rob is when a story of my past comes up.   I remember my grandma calling my x-husband Rob...til the day she passed away. We kept in touch for so long. Even when I had tragic in my marriage Rob you reached out to me from clear across the states . I had always wished I took your concerned and  kind phone calls. I had so much pain and my pride and sadness pushed so many away. Rob you were brought up in so many conversations these past months that in this new journey which my daughter and I are taking...Like old times I accually had talked about looking you and your family up for a day on our next visit to florida. I  wanted so much for Marissa to meet you again~ the man which had always chaptered my heart. A first true love is such a mile stone and someone you never forget ! I'm so sorry I never was able to make that visit happen. I still have some really cool old pictures, If I can figure out how to use this new compt. I will upload them ...ugh... I'm so sorry for not staying in touch!  Rob... know that here in Rochester through out all the years ...you have always lived on.. in my family : ) I know they will be sad to here this news when I share this with them tomorrow. Kathy,Ralph, Ralphie and Trina I am soooo sorry and will pray that your pain will become bearable  and that God will close this door of sadness, and open the door for a content and peaceful memory of Rob.~  All my love, Wendy LaCara-Echevarria

My Darling Son,
We celebrated your life today at mass.  You would have been surprised to see so many family, friends, and co workers who took time to attend your mass.  You never realized how many people loved you and were honored to know you.  We said our goodbyes but you will always be in our hearts.  I can't wait to join you in heaven...until then, I will have to clean my mirrors and windows.   I love you my sweet Gerber Baby.

Today we will say "good bye" to you.  I don't know how to do that for someone so young and so full of life still in our hearts.  I did let my daddy know you are joining him, although I should have maybe turned to Mickey and George.  In any case, as hard as it is for me to say good bye, I know how easy it is for you to be welcomed into heaven.  We have so many close family and friends there to help you reach God.  May you always stay with God and help him to watch over us, here on earth.  We love you very much and miss you already!

There are no words I can write to express how deeply saddened we are with the loss of Robby. Kathy, Ralph, Ralphie and Trina, we love you sooo very much and I know Robby is an angel smiling (and you know his smile) over you! Take comfort in the memories as they will give you strength and remember that the love around you will help you through the days ahead. We will miss you Robby and just know that Me and Bob will be lighting off fireworks just for you every Fourth of July knowing your doing the same with us in Heaven.  

Love Joelle, Bob and Cassie

Dear Kathy, Ralph, Ralphie and Trina,
There are no words to express how sorry I am for your loss but I hope this poem might express Rob's feelings.
"Afterglow"
I'd like the memory of me to be a happy one.
I'd like to leave an afterglow of smiles when life is done.
I'd like to leave an echo whispering softly down the ways.
Of happy times and laughing times and bright sunny days.
I'd like the tears of those who grieve, to dry before the sun.
Of happy memories that I leave when life is done.
With love and deepest sympathy, Bonnie

Dearest sweet Robby,

You are one blue-eyed, blond haired, handsome, beautiful boy.  We love you and miss you very deeply.  You will live on in our hearts forever.  We know you will watch over us.  Love Aunt Cherie, Uncle Bob and Cousin Jenna

Memories of Robby:

There are no words to express my sorrow for Robby's passing.  I'm so so very sad.

One memory I have of Robby is when he was about 5 months old.  I babysat for him.  He was so beautiful, so adorable, he was like a doll to me.  I dressed him up in so many outfits because he was so darn cute, (I made a lot of laundry for his mother and his father said I didn't need to change his clothes so often) but I couldn't help it. 

Another time I was driving with Robby standing up in the back seat.  He was about 3 years old.  I hit a bump in the road and his little body fell down.  He was madder than heck and said to me: "Where'd you get your license, Sears and Roebuck?"  I had all I could do to keep a straight face.  You were an angel then and an angel now.  Robby has left us all with wonderful memories we'll never forget.  

Love, Aunt Cherie Battaglia

Dear Ralph, Kathy, Trina & Ralphie, I believe passing is really a birth into a new and better world.  Those who are left behind should not grieve as if there were no hope.  Life is changed, not taken away.  Our dear Robby lives on in a world beautiful beyond anything we can imagine.  With God, they await the day when they will welcome us with joy.  Do not grieve too much, Robby says to us.  I am living and am still with you.  Love, Cherie Battaglia (Robby's Aunt)

CHILD OF MINE, CHILD OF LOVE, BREATH OF SRING; CAN YOU POSSIBLY KNOW THE JOY YOU BRING?  IT BINDS US TOGETHER IN LOVE FOR ALL TIME.  YOU ARE PERFECTLY FORMED, SO UNIQUE AND COMPLETE; GENTLE SMILES BREAK FORTH FROM EVERYONE YOU MEET.  MY SPECIAL GIFT; A PRICELESS TRESURE; A BUNDLE OF LOVE BEYOND ALL MEASURE!  THOUGH CARRIED SAFE BENEATH MY HEART, YOU WERE YOUR OWN PRECIOUS SELF FROM THE START.  MAY ANGELS ALWAYS NOW WALK BY YOUR SIDE AND MAY YOU LET GOD'S HOLY SPIRIT BE FROM NOW ON YOUR GUIDE. MY LOVE WILL SERVE YOU FOR AS LONG AS I LIVE; GOD'S LOVE ETERNAL WILL GIVE AND GIVE.  SO SLEEP IN PEACE MY PRECIOUS SON; YOUR DAYS IN HEAVEN HAVE JUST BEGUN!  ...WITH ALL MY LOVE,  MOM
