In Loving Memory of an American Hero

On September 7, 2009, my uncle, Robert James Barone, passed away. He served two tours in Viet Nam and was the recipient of two Purple Hearts among many other commendations. There are not sufficient enough words to describe what an amazing person he was or to measure the true amount of loss from his passing. One poem from his Rosary service comes close though......

"God saw you were getting tired and a cure was not to be, so He wrapped his arms around you and whispered "Come home with me." With tearful eyes we watched you suffer, and watched you fade away, although we loved you dearly, we could not make you stay. A golden heart stopped beating, a determined spirit was at rest. God broke our hearts to prove to us "He only takes the Best." ~Unknown~

BOBBY WILL ALWAYS BE ONE OF THE "LEGENDS" IN OUR LIVES!
