My heart is broken but I know you are at peace. Love you Dad❤️

Bob was a great man. Remember him running the Cazenovia hockey league back  in the 1960s and 70s when we played outdoors.   Here’s a photo circa 1970.  Bob on the far left.  

My favorite memory with Uncle Bob is when we celebrate Thanksgiving.

Those special people who give  themselves will live  forever in  every single heart they have touched.  Sharing in your sorrow at the loose of Bob , who was so special.  He will be missed by many.

My favorite memory with Uncle Bob is when we  are having breakfast at IHOP.

My favorite memory about  Uncle Bob is when I visit him and Aunt Donna every Christmas Eve.

To Donna and the Rigby family                                           We are all very sorry to hear about Bob’s passing.  Thoughts and prayers with you.  We had 45 years of great friendship both on and off the ice-Go Caz.  So from Butch (Suzie), Scott, Kevin, Timmy and John-The Melligan family,  farewell my friend 

Please accept our deepest condolences for your loss.  We wish you and your family peace and comfort as you grieve.  Bob was a special person, who will be deeply missed.  Love, Cheryl and Dick

Donna - Please know that you and the family are in my prayers. Bob set a fantastic example for young people in South Buffalo, especially the kids who played Caz Park Hockey. He was generous with his time as well as his treasure and will truly be missed by all of us who knew him. I hope that your memories bring you comfort and your faith brings you strength. ~Chuck Hayes

Donna and family, we are so sorry to hear about Bob. He was such a pillar of the West Seneca community.  He helped us to obtain our home and always was looking out for others. He will be sadly missed.

I am so sorry to read of Bob’s passing.  My condolences to the family and may he Rest In Peace.  He will be missed by everyone that has met him.

Donna and family,

Marty and I are saddened to hear of Bob's passing.  He was such a kind man and we enjoyed talking and working with him.. We send our sincere condolences and prayers to the family.

Bob used to coach me and my brother in hockey as kids and we also used to golf together at Caz. He was a kind man who never had a bad thing to say about anyone. He was a great family man and father to his kids and husband to his wife!  He will be missed dearly. My deepest sympathy and condolences go out to his family from the Matteson family. 🙏

I'm terribly sorry for your loss and unfortunately will be unable to attend any services as I am in Florida for the winter. I first met the Rigby's as a young child as they lived behind us when I lived on Stevenson St. I believe Bob was a year behind me at St. Thomas Aquinas and also at Bishop Timon and I always remember Bob as a gentleman. I'll keep him in my prayers.

RIP Bob Rigby...a good man, never dealt a card from the bottom of the deck to anyone...you were an inspiration to our family, as well as a pillar in the community who exemplified service to others. Wether it was Caz Park Hockey, South Side Sports, St Mary’s , Real Estate, or your beloved Rotary, you could always be counted on to give 110%. Colleen and I will never forget the interest you always showed in Kristen’s educational development and the love and concern for Cory. Your smile, caring nature, and golf tips, will be sorely missed. May God comfort Donna, Paul, Karen and your  grand kids at this time of loss, reflection, and celebration of your life. God Speed.

Bob was such an amazing man. Always there to help anyone that needed help and always with that beautiful smile on his face. 
Donna, you two truly had a marriage that we all  admired. 
He will be missed terribly, but, thought of often and fondly. 
I am so sorry for your loss and will keep you all in my prayers. 

Donna, Paul and Karen we are so very sorry for your loss. Bob was such a wonderful person to be around. Always giving to everyone and everything that needed help.   No one was prouder of his family than he was. Oh how his face would light up talking about his family. Prayers for all of you. God bless. 

My deepest sympathies go out to the entire Rigby family. May God hold you all close and give you peace and comfort through this difficult time. Mr. Rigby, rest in peace.
