To Ellie and the family of Bobby Zagone,

Please know that Bobby is now in heaven with the people in his past that have welcomed him with open arms.

Even here on earth his smile and happy attitude gave everybody near him a ray of sunshine to enjoy their day.  Seeing him do magic was always an extra bonus of his special talent.

Rest in peace Bobby,  you will not be forgotten.

Bob Zagone. My friend and mentor. Where do I even begin?
To describe his generosity, thoughtfulness, creativity, and magic, the internet is not big enough.
Helen and I met in his magic shop 48 years ago. We owe so much to him.
To his oldest friends he was Zeke.
To our kids, Amy and Zac, and so many in his family, he was Uncle Bob.
To me, Bob Zagone.
Baby Doll, you will be missed.

There are so many great things to say about
Bob
He will be missed  for ever
My friend was and will always be remembered for his friendship 
Bob was always there 
His love for his family and life
Can be seen in the Photos posted
To  his family I extend my condolences 
I have great memories of Bob it’s hard to pick out one
His was a life lived to the utmost
 Myself and my wife Phyllis  shared great times
With Bob and Ellie 
I would say the Song My Way best describes Bob
Good by my friend we always said this side or the other 
Rest In Peace 


Our Magic Man

A loving Dad and Papa, and beloved by his best girl,
They’d been in love a long, long time and given life a whirl,
I wondered at their wedding, and asked him just for kicks,
Why Bobby had no time that day for doing magic tricks.

Etched into my memory are the flowers that he sent
When too soon it was to heaven that our Mary Jean went,
It was an extra large arrangement, as tall as it was wide,
Of Our Lady in her Grotto, with blooms on every side.

Grief is the price we pay for love, a process we go through,
The part of life we question when we don’t know what to do,
And it won’t take Bobby’s magic or amazing slight‑of‑hand
To know we’ll find the answers in the Footprints in the Sand.

Life may end but love does not, so raise a glass with me,
Farewell beloved cousin, you’ll be mourned by family,
Death leaves a heartache that is impossible to heal,
But love leaves a memory that’s impossible to steal.

The angels Phil and Tillie, joined their hands and came to Earth,
Joined at Bobby’s death as they were joined at Bobby’s birth,
With their beloved son between them, they winged their way to heaven,
And the Lord took Bob into His arms on January Seven.
