Sadly I just found out about Dr Bob’s passing. Needless to say, I’m stunned and very sorry;  he was my dentist for years and was the best I’d ever had as well as a friend.  I treasured our friendship, Dr Bob and Joy for many years.  I tried getting in touch with the Bono’s and had no response. I finally resorted to Google and saw the obituary.  RIP Dr Bono. 🙏🏻

I received news of Bob's passing too late to attend  services. Condolences to Joy, Dr Tom n family.
I met Bob Freshman year, Latin class, Rockhurst HS. Played baseball w him 4 years at the Rock.
One of his first patients n remained until he passed me to  Tom when he retired. 
Great guy n great dentist!

So very sorry to hear about Bob’s passing. He was a quiet unassuming outstanding friend who touched many lives. He was a gifted athlete and a highly skilled professional. My deepest sympathies to Joy and all the extended Bono Family. His life was well lived and so many enjoyable memories will last forever. RIP dear friend. Jon Browne  MD

I had the pleasure of working as Dr Bono’s dental hygienist for many years.  His dentistry was outstanding. I learned so much from him and from Joy as well, who was  also his hygienist for a time.    He not only had fantastic technical skills but patient skills as well.  He was justifiably proud of the practice that he had built.  It was certainly a privilege and an honor to work for him.  I was friends with Joy before I worked with him, so I was delighted to be part of his practice.  
And what a good tennis player he was!   I also played tennis so I knew how skillful he was.  There was a time or two when Joy and I played together with him at Rockhill.   Fun memories.

Joy, today I woke up and saw Bob’s obituary. I do not think I have ever  been so dramatically affected by anything as to see my friend, my dentist of 25 plus years, such a vital force, gone. What a guy!! I am so sorry for your loss, Joy.  I only learned in the past two months that Mike had passed also. And I loved him too.  The Bonos brothers will always remain awesome (yes, Tom). In 1972,  I dropped out of my last semester of college to backpack through Europe. I flew from KC getting the cheapest flight I could find and landed in Frankfurt. While wandering in the airport, I spotted a familiar face. What were the chances? Mike Bono. Mike and I had graduated from high school in 1968–he from Rockhurst and I from Saint Teresa’s Academy. And who was there with him visiting but his brother Bob!!  Wow!! What a shock to see two KC natives a world away with Mike serving his country. So, fast forward to around 1989 and I move to the Northland of KC. Bob was recommended to me by a colleague who felt he was exceptional. He became my dentist, and my friend. Over the years, I met Joy. Joy is a person whose name truly describes her. Talk about an amazing couple. I will miss Bob and Mike. They were two lights in my life that shone like stars.

So sorry to hear this. There aren't enough words to describe how I felt when I heard of Bobs passing.
Always a smile a pat on the shoulder and how you doing.
I think I had a special bond to him and I will away remember him in that way.
He was the best as far as his profession and when I smile I will  always think of him.
God bless you all.
Love 
Donna and Dominic Saraagusa

I am so sorry to hear of Bob’s passing. We met in grade school at St Francis Xavier  where he was the quarterback and I was the end. Then the years at Rockhurst and after that professionally. A super great guy, friend and a class act.   His smile was always the same. My condolences to the family. Heaven has received a jewel.

Joy, I am so sorry to hear of Bob's passing. He was my dentist for over 25 years. He would always tap my foot when he came in and asked me how I was doing. He always had a big smile and took the time to chat with me. Usually, it was about one of your golfing vacations! I always enjoyed seeing you, Joy, at the office as well. You both were always so kind to me. I missed him when he retired. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

Sonja and I are so sad to hear about Bob’s passing.  We enjoyed the time we spent together with Bob and Joy in the Desert; golfing, Happy Hours, dinners at our homes, (especially the Bono meatballs), and interesting conversation (lots of conversation 😊).  Sonja and I are blessed to have spent time with Bob and Joy over the years.  Sending our heart felt love and condolences to Joy and the family at this difficult time.  Rudy and Sonja

Bob, was a class act and a great friend. I will never forget the special times we spent together. May God bless him and his family. I was blessed with the privilege of your friendship.
God open the doors you have a great guy coming.

Tom and Janet,
So sorry to hear about Bob's passing.
We send our deepest sympathy and please know you're in our thoughts and prayers.  
Remember when Bob took over Tony's C&B lab in school.
Take Care,
Phil &BJ Gravino

great memories on the tennis court with Bob and trips to the desert.  Bob had a wonderful wit for jokes.  we're going to miss him. Bill and EJ Cook

Favorite picture of Bob and Joy that trip. I think Sarah actually took this one.

Mike, Julie, Sarah Rosalia with her Uncle Bob and Aunt Joy. Bill’s Pizza  was always a hit.

This laugh… smile …and humor that never stopped. Xoxoxo

Bob, Mike and James Bono
Handsome Bono men. Love Bob’s smile here.

I am so very sorry to hear about the passing of Dr. Bob.  He was my dentist for many, many years and I was very sad when he retired.    I never found another that could match his skills and his great personality.  He will be missed!
