“When he dies and goes to heaven, to St.Peter he will tell: “Another Marine reporting, sir, I’ve served my time in hell.” I’m so sorry to hear of your illness and passing. I always thought of you as my big cousin, and appreciated all the help you gave when my Dad was ill and you came over with your Mom and Nani to take care of my son, Alexander when he was a baby. Yours was a life of generous service: to your family and to your country. Now you are reunited with your Mom and the rest of the family….you will be missed. Semper Fi! Nina

Cousin Bobby, Rest in peace. May you join my dear Aunt Elda and Uncle Re, together after these many years. You had helped me and my mother through years of her illness; you had helped my cousin Yvonne and my Aunt Lena Pesaresi, always in good humor, and willing to try new handyman work for these ladies. You cared for your mother with grace and patience and stood by your family through good and hard times. A loyal and proud Marine to the last. Cousin Margie Pesaresi PS: I would never let you forget when I was about 3 and you were just about 1, I thought you a crabby baby who would not let me play with my older cousins, Dicky and Peter (both at rest with God) like I was still top "baby" in the family. You hated me telling this story and here, I am doing it again.
