My sincere condolences to Jo-Ann and the Cirillo family on Bob’s passing. I knew him to be a warm, friendly guy with a keen sense of humor who would call “Jo”, my secretary at the Board of Education, and end up talking sports with me before turning him over to her. That’s the kind of person he was who will rest in peace.
Bob was one in a million, an a million to one . Yes they only made one and he was the best. I’m so glad I got to spend fun times with him and Joann. I will always remember him fondly.
He was truly a Best Friend . Rest in peace Bobby C. My sincere condolences to Joann and his family.
