My deepest sympathy to family and friends.
Bobbie was my younger cousin. I will always cherish our family memories growing up together. I remember your dad’s dump truck always parked in the drive. Rest in Heaven Bobbie, until we meet again.
Your cousin,
Chuck
I was employed by Bob for 4 yrs, he had a great sense of humor and was a terrific person to work for! He will be dearly missed. Rest in peace Bob
Bobby was the very best of the best. Whether we were out for dinner and drinks with him and Robin, at a Steelers game, or just poolside at the house, he was always the life of the party, full of hilarious stories and was beyond generous to those he loved.
The early morning weekend outings with him while he made his rounds were never dull and always included breakfast at DeLuca’s Diner and a stop at Penn Mac.
Grateful to know him and for the fun times he and Robin included us in. When I think of Pittsburgh, I’ll always think of him and the memories.
Sending my love and sympathy to Robin, David, Kelly, Bella, Maria, Gianna, and Sofia.
Thoughts and prayers are with the whole family. Please accept My deepest sympathies God bless
Bobby rest in peace and Gob bless your family and keep them strong I am sure my mother and the rest of the family will be there to greet you with loving arms
Wow… such a loss of a big man with a big heart. I met you over 40 years ago when you had only a small dump truck and a couple snow plows. We were friends from then on.
Amazing how you developed an Empire.
Then your son David, that you loved and were so proud of, followed in your shoes and with hard work like his Dad developed his own enterprise.
After 37 years, my son who thought so much of you, still has the small toy truck you gave him. He always got so excited to visit the garage and check out the latest truck or tractor and wear the DAROCO sweatshirt you have him.
I’m sure your entire family will miss you as well as the many friends you had.
I can end this by saying I will always remember that huge smile on your face that will be etched in my mind when i last came to visit you with a giant bowl of Marie’s pasta and a container of smoked pulled pork and some goodies. You looked like a kid on Christmas morning !
So long good friend…till we meet again !
David and family,
My thoughts and prayers go out to all of you. Bob was one of a kind and would always be there when you needed help. My condolences to the entire family. Rest in peace my friend!
Our deepest sympathies and condolences to his family, friends and staff. Sending prayers for peace and comfort to you all.

To my brother in law who was the kindest and most patient person. Thank you for all the great memories and fun. Bobby is a great family man. Robin and I will surely miss you as well as your family and friends will. Peace be with you and till we meet again. Will be sadly missed.
