Diane and Joseph CILENTO. We will miss you so much dear Bobby. I will miss our daily phone calls. May you RIP in heaven.
I miss you so much more than words can express my dear sweet Uncle Bob. I just listen to every message you left me over and over, they mean more to me than gold. I love you so much. Xoxo
Cousin Robert was an extraordinary man! I enjoyed our frequent calls in which he would recount his remarkable career, first in pediatrics ad later on as a pioneer in the field of radiology. He loved going to the great restaurants in in the NY area and hosted his family for many fine restaurant gatherings that I’ll always remember.
Robert was an avid traveler, having visited Europe dozens of times. I enjoyed his stories of visiting Italy, France , Switzerland, Austria and many more. Often times, he would combine his love for the opera with trips to see his favorite composers in European opera houses. He loved his parents, and they would often accompany him.
He was a lover of world history, and we would speak of the world’s great leaders in ancient and modern times and events. He was adept at speaking off the cuff about esoteric topics and always amazed me. Of course, he also loved watching Maury Povich and Judge Judy to balance it out.
He was generous to many charities and civic groups. On our trips to his doctor’s visits, a secret pleasure was a trip to get a hot dog at Hiram’s in Ft. Lee or a trip to the Italian markets to load up on cannoli.
He became a great friend, and I will miss him dearly.
May God shine his eternal light upon you. RIP cousin Bob
May God’s eternal light shine upon you. RIP cousin Bob.
I don’t even know where to begin when talking about Uncle Bob and all the memories I have. I remember the smell of cherry pipe tobacco, racing him to see who would clear our plates faster (much to my moms dismay), giant books on radiology that he brought on vacation to read for fun, his Mercedes cars from the 1970s, the sound of the slideshows we would watch when he returned from Europe. I could go on and on. I love you and thank you for all these wonderful memories. Rest in the peace you so richly deserve.
Uncle Bob,
We miss your voice and those warm weekend talks filled with your captivating stories. You were a living encyclopedia – history, places, food, cultures… every topic became an adventure. Your knowledge, love, joy, and insightful observations brought the world to life. You’ve always held a special place in our lives, and that will never change. Love you a lot!
He will be missed very much. I would speak to him periodically. My mother Emma was Carmine’s sister, and I am his first cousin. I admired his accomplishments him and will remember him always. Love Maryann
