After many years of owning and operating his own business, Bobby found his true passion in the kitchen as a chef. When he wasn’t cooking for customers at the restaurant, he was dishing up something delicious for his family who spent many hours gathered around his table. He enjoyed entertaining crowds of family and friends, to a soundtrack of his favorites like Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Louis Prima and Tony Bennett.
Born and raised in the Bronx, NY, Bobby was a die-hard Yankees fan, and would often tell stories about skipping school to sit in center field right behind “the Mick”. He was a movie buff, and loved the old classics like The Godfather and Saturday Night Fever, which he could quote at length. Whether it was at the casino, in a bar, or at the kitchen table, Bobby loved to throw dice and play cards.
Above all else, his greatest accomplishment was his family. He loved the times that they spent together and has left them with a lifetime of memories. Bobby will always be remembered as a devoted husband, father, grandfather and friend.
