    Dear Cathy and family,

    I am so sorry for your loss. Bob was one of a kind. He loved his Pittsburgh sports and especially his family. Almost every work conversation we had, ended with sports talk and checking in on each other’s families.

    He will be missed greatly. Keeping your family in my thoughts and prayers.

  • David Hallow

    Sending along our deepest sympathy and prayers to the Connolly and Noonan families. Bob was a terrific guy, and was very respected in many circles. He and the Noonan Family gave me my first opportunity within the Crane Industry, I worked with Bob for 17 years and will always remember him as a super talented and passionate person.

  • Domenic & Nataliya DiDomenico

    Dear Cathy & Family,

    We are so sorry for your loss. Bob was a fantastic man and will be greatly missed. He always had a friendly smile on his face and something nice to say. He took the time to talk to me and my family anytime we would see him. Not a car would drive by without giving him a wave hello or a quick beep-beep. Bob seemed to know everybody; he was that kind of guy. Our condolences to you and the entire Connolly Family.

  • Elaine Maloney

    Love Always
    Joe and Elaine Maloney

    Shocked and so sad to hear of Bobby’s passing. Pat and I spent an hour with him two weeks ago, reminiscing about early childhood family experiences as cousins. We came away from that reflecting on how nice a guy he was. Our condolences to Cathy and family.
