Condolences
Gina Provenzano-Delach from Hendersonville, TN
"To the Petrarca Family, I was very sorry to hear about Mr. Capizano's passing this week. And as a very old family friend, If I know anything, I know that he loved ALL of you immensely, and without reservation. Especially you Kathy! I know this is a very difficult time for all of you, but try to take solace in knowing that he was called home by our Lord and is somewhere greater now. With our deepest sympathy, Gina and Paul Delach"
Todd Hoppenstedt from Franklin, TN
"I was saddened to learn of Bob's passing, he was a dear friend and neighbor to my family and I for many years. Even after we were no longer neighbor's Bob and I remained great friends, He would frequently visit us while we were still in St. Charles. Bob never missed a dinner invite, in fact sometimes he would show up for dinner even when we had forgotten that we invited him. Bob was always comfortable walking into the house unannounced, sometimes in only his shorts, and yelling for whoever was home. Bob became a family member to us, always laughing with the kids and regularly meeting Clark at the bus stop before or after school. Bob always bragged about his entire family, especially his daughter Kathy, his son-in-law Joe, his very loved granddaughters and ultimately his great grad children. Bob became a member of our extended family and will be greatly missed, we will never forget you and the laughter you brought us! Rest in peace my friend! We love you!"
