Condolences
I just was made aware of this very sad news. Rob was an awesome gentlemen whom I had the pleasure of knowing. He brightened my life and I know he is now in the presence of eternal love.
It is so hard to find the words to express how very sorry we are for your loss. We are sending thoughts and prayers your way in this time of grief. Hold on to all the memories you have shared with your son... Rich and Dawn Wrublevski
We are sorry for your loss. With our deepest sympathy To the arcoleo and Brock family.
Dear Arcoleo family, I am sincerely sorry to hear about the death of your loved one. You are all in my prayers and you have my deepest sympathies. Please let me know if I can assist in any way. Sincerely, Bridget Hotalen (Freehold Boro High School)
Linda and Family, I pray for comfort for you and your family. During such a sad time, I read Callen's note and it made me laugh because Rob left us so many wonderful, hilarious memories that will never fade. Rob was a wonderful friend. He had an amazing sense of humor, and intense kindness and compassion. I will never forget his smile or the sound of his laughter. We still use the nicknames he gave us years and years ago (although mine is the WORST). My prayers are with you and may God bless the passage of his soul. Dena
Linda and family, I am so sorry for your loss. Rob and I met only a few days into our freshman year at college and lived together for the next 5 years. I have a million memories involving him from being the kid across the hall who also liked listening to 311 to pounding on his wall while the Family Guy DVD menu played for 12 hours straight through the night, and of course I can’t forget the time his shampoo was replaced with mayonnaise and he never said a word about it. Rob was a hysterical person with a great heart, I considered him one of my best friends and I will miss him greatly. God bless and stay strong through this difficult time.
Linda & Bobby and Family, There are no words i can find that will express how very sorry I am for the loss of your son. I hope the lord finds you with the strength to hold tight to lifetime of love and memories your family has shared with your precious son. I am sending good thoughts and prayers to you all. May god bless you and carry you through this unimaginable grief.Sincerly Susan Stiles-Perri and family.
We were saddened and so sorry to learn of this loss to you and your family. This should never have to happen to a parent or grandparent. Please take comfort knowing that your grief is being shared by all who know you.
On behalf of your friends at the Farm Family Insurance Companies, please know that our thoughts and prayers are with you all. Tim Walsh, President Farm Family
Linda: My heart goes out to you and your family, I am so so sorry to hear about the loss of Robert. Words cannot express how sorry I was to hear. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

By: Robert E. Arcoleo Jr. - Graduating Class of 2002
Four years have passed us by. We will no longer walk the hallways of Freehold Boro, which we have come to call home over the years. No longer will we see the familiar faces that we have seen every day. The time has come for the Class of 2002 to go our separate ways and see what life has in store for us.
Many of us have spent our time here at the Boro building friendships and maintaining a reputation we hope to be remembered by. Our high school career has not only set the educational foundation we need to succeed, but has helped us to lay the groundwork for what we become in society. Whether it was good or bad, our reputations will be remembered amongst the faculty and our fellow peers.
Some of us have spent this time trying to impress others, never really discovering ourselves. What we fail to realize, is that we won't be remembered by the clothes we wore, or the day there wasn't a hair out of place. Many of us have based our lives on superficial things, and have not realized our true potential.
Ten years from now, no one will remember the time you wore the same jeans twice in a week. They will remember the times that we were there to talk to them when they had a bad break-up, or the time we wished them a Happy Birthday when everyone else forgot, or when you taught them how to parallel park the day before their driving test. Likewise, they will remember the times we ignored them in the hallways, or talked behind their back, destroying their reputation and their confidence in themselves as well as us. We are all guilty of causing hurt at one time or another in our lives, but there are a special few that put
their own well being aside for others.
We have become a family here at the Boro. We came together, four years ago, some of us as total
strangers, and have learned to live together. At one point or another, we have encountered another
family member. If that one time was the only time the two of you socialized,
is that first impression how you really want to be remembered?
Over time, we come to find ourselves, put our superficiality aside, and discover our real friends. It may be disappointing to some, because out of the 20 kids you called friends, maybe one or two actually are. All those hours spent in front of the mirror, trying to impress them, it hits you that they were doing the same thing. For some of us, it's a painful realization to find out that all those people you thought were friends weren't worth the time you spent brushing your hair.
High school is full of trials and challenges, socially as well as academically. Every day, we must face a new challenge. Maybe it's just trying to pass that Economics test you didn't study for, or maybe it's going to school worrying about who will make fun of you that day. We must try our very best to overcome these situations,
no matter how simple or complex.
Some people have come to rely on one or two close friends whom we know we will stay close within the future. One's, we have grown accustomed to, got to know on a personal level over the course of time. We come to confide in them and trust them. They don't expect to have 25 friends, but enjoy the company of a trusted few. They become familiar territory, a sanctuary of protection, and a circle of trust. Our friends help us to achieve self-realization. You can be yourself amongst your friends, no matter how absurd or uncool it is to others.
In life, we will all face setbacks. It may be the death of someone close to you, a parent leaving your family, or your best friend turning their back on you. You will never see it coming, but it feels like the end of the world and like you can't move on. It will hurt more than anything you have known.
That safe-haven has been destroyed. That sanctuary is no longer there for you to retreat to,
and you feel as if there is nothing to make it better.
It is all part of life. We must grow up, find ourselves, and step into unfamiliar, unprotected territory. In the end, we will realize that the only person that can help us move on is our self. When we ache, we go at it alone. We come to confide in ourselves, and realize who we are. Everyone grows up at a different time, some are forced into it and others choose to do it. Yet some of us will never really grow up.
Our time to grow here has ended. Our teachers and parents have done everything they possibly could to prepare us for the real world. Many of the teachers here care about our futures and us. We know who they are, and we know the doors that are always opened for us to talk. As with any family, after we get our footing, with a little guidance, we must go our separate ways to continue to mature. We leave many of our brothers and sisters and parents behind to take our lives to the next step. The only things we leave are our reputations, a lasting image of our attitudes, personality, dedication, academic and scholastic achievements, and our friendships. Those of us who have found ourselves or are beginning to realize who we are have laid the foundations for our futures. As for those of us who have no idea, we must strive to begin the construction of our futures. All of us here today have already passed the first step. I borrowed this quote from Kelly Gibson, "Yesterday is history, Tomorrow is a mystery, and today is a gift, that's why they call it the present."
We never know what the future has in store for us, and it's time to continue on our paths or start a new one. We must live everyday to the fullest and take everything it has to offer. I will close by using the words of Joseph Fort Newton "We cannot tell what may happen to us in this strange medley of life; but we can decide what happens in us, how we can take it, what we do with it and that is what really counts in the end." I wish my fellow classmates the best of luck in aspiring all of their goals.
Congratulations Freehold Boro Class of 2002.
I am so sorry for your loss! I had the privilege of working with Robert for a few years at Brocks! He was hysterically funny, always had a smart comment to make to Ben, and was so helpful in that yard. He sure knew what he was doing. It was an honor to know him and I am so sad to hear about his passing. I will always remember that man who had me laughing at his jokes and smiling back at me in the booth. An amazing guy and he will be missed. RIP Rob. Please accept my condolences from me and the Castronova family.
I am so sorry for your loss. Robert was very kind and caring. A scripture that has comforted me in my losses is Revelation 21:4 which says - "And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away.” When God's kingdom rules this Earth then sickness and death will end and this will be a beautiful planet. With heartfelt sympathy, Lew
I am so sorry to hear this news, he will be missed. Love and prayers for his daughter and family.
