Bob was such a special part of our family. Though we weren’t family by blood, we were family by love and I will never forget the genuine love and kindness he has always shown toward me, my husband and my children. We love you Nicole, my father Sal, Elizabeth, Faye, Diane and Russell so very much and we are so sorry for the loss of Bob. He was a truly wonderful man. He will be missed so very much and always be remembered in our hearts ❤️

Love,

Vanessa

Our Friend Bobby. A life that mattered. A life well lived. Forever in our hearts. Love Joann Tripi

Bobby met and fell in love with my mother when I was a young kid. He quickly became a huge part of our lives and for the first time my mother and I no longer felt alone in the world. We were welcomed into his life and wonderful family with open arms. My father passed away when I was 8 years old and Bobby became a great friend and role model to me. Over time he became known as "Bosh." He never had the intention of replacing my real father. I learned many valuable life lessons from him and he was always there for me no matter what. He taught me how to drive, he brought me upstate to his home so that we could get to know each other better, he took me to college, he gave me great advice and most importantly he treated my mother like gold and gave her an incredible life. He was a pillar of strength for her and I always felt at peace knowing she was with him. He was a truly selfless and caring man, was loyal to his friends and family, and entertained many people with his wit and charm. I am deeply saddened and heartbroken that he is no longer with us but will cherish all of the memories I have with him. He will remain in my heart for eternity.

Having just lost my own dad not even a year ago, I extend my heartfelt condoelences & sympathies to Faye, “My Russell”; “Di-Woosh”; “Nic-oosh” & all those close to Bobby; they were all family from our own years in the Catskills at Pine Springs Resort. As I jokingly/lovingly said to Diane, “Aunt Vi called another one home. Bobby had to report to the dining room, dinner is now being served.” I hope he’s up there sharing his smile & his stories with all the other Pine Springs family & friends who’ve gone before him. My love & prayers to you, all. May memories comfort you in this time of grief. Peace be with you. Love, “Moosh” (Michele Cassaro)

Bobby Jack as I came to know him while working at Pine Springs resort was one of my favorite people. He was always there to help anyone. I loved when he taught me the cocktail waitress gig. He will be sorely missed by his family for sure.

His daughters became a special part of my life there too. I pray the Lord will cradle him and give him his unrequited love. RIP my dear friend.

I will always remember Uncle Bob as the guy who stepped in and helped at a moment's notice. When I little, we had to borrow his car because ours was out of commission. I know we had it a few days. I mean, who DOES that? It was a cool car too, not practical like the ones we usually had, lol.

I fondly recall that when my parents bought their Round Top home around 1990, Uncle Bob was there, always willing to lend a hand or some needed cash when dad was short because decided to stay a few more days, or to do a few more projects. Uncle Bob made many connections to smooth the path for my dad as he adjusted to the Catskills life. I only recently learned that, aside from helping dad secure many resort jobs, Uncle Bob recommended my dad to a well driller with whom my father ended up working for many years!

It's times like this when you realize how much love you have for a person. I love you, Uncle Bob.

I'll never forget "Mickey Mouse!" in the bread drawer on Darcy Avenue, Tear the beautiful dog, the cool blue car, you holding Nicole and singing "Daddy's Little Girl" to her in my family's dining room, among so many other more recent memories with my own 'kids' made at family gatherings.

I'll never forget you Uncle Bob.❤
