Memories Timeline

Guestbook

  1. A good man. We worked together for 19 yrs as outside salesman at Avon Electric Supply in Hauppauge. We worked for the Moskowitz family and we’re both very happy there.

  2. Like his brother Joe, Robert was an exceptional man that knew the very real value of love and family. Not one to wear his heart on his sleeve in public, at home he was never afraid to show how deeply he loved his family. He was kind, generous and always ready to turn an average day into a cause for celebration. He was kind enough to let me into his home and treat me like family on many occasions.

    In this life we meet many kinds of people- some memorable, some not. But I can say with a great degree of certainty that Bobby B was the real deal and in the rarest of company- he understood that misery has no place in occupying the heart and love is the glue that holds this life together and helps keep the darkness at bay. I’m honored to have known him and forever grateful for the time spent laughing and enjoying his company. My heart goes out to the entire Boccafola family and his close friends, may the good memories loom large over you and provide some comfort in this time.

  3. boc was a great guy worked with him for over 20 good years
    fun to golf with fun to work with
    may he rest is peace
    best to Donna, Christine , Michele and and grandkids

  4. candleMy thoughts and prayers go to all his loved ones. My life with Robert was I lved across the street on spruce street in Hicksville. Growing up I was so lucky the Boccafola family had one of those early TV’s. I was always a guest and ate many meals in 16 Spruce st.
    One funny story I remember was at one of those dinner that the Mrs made spinach ravioli, I loved it but Robert really protested and his mommy told them that if Rich could eat and not being Italian you all must to their disappointment!
    I with my life adventures we separated in contact but never in my memories !

  5. Bob was a true gentleman. It was my reward to work with him for many years. Knowledgeable, kind and honest, Bob was always willing to share his wisdom. May he rest in peace.

  6. Bob was a wonderful person, very thoughtful and helpful all the time. I learned a lot from working with him. I was blessed when he asked me to take over being Santa Claus when he retired. My sincerest condolences to his family . He will truly be missed. God Bless

  7. candleBoc was one of a kind I knew him for over 30 years
    He had great integrity, was honorable in his dealings with us, he was a true gentleman and friend to me
    I will miss his smile, his sense of humor, he always brightened my day when we saw each other
    Rest in peace my friend

  8. candleI knew Bob for over 25 years. Bob was very knowledgeable and always went the extra mile to service all of his customers. Lots of great memories in doing business together with Bob. My condolences to the Boccafola family.

  9. candleBob was a great salesman. His customers loved him/ You cannot get much better than that. Bob was always an upbeat person in everything he did. When you played golf WITH him on your side, you had better play well/ He respected you when you played golf AGAINST him as well/
    Just a really good person with a positive attitude despite his many struggles over the years.
    I will miss his friendship/ I was extremely fortunate to have known Bob for over 30 years. May he rest in peace forever/
    God Bless Bob

  10. My deepest sympathy goes out to this beautiful family of mine. So saddened to hear about the loss of my Uncle Bob, who was always full of life and love. Will cherish the memories and remember the laughter he brought to any room.
    Praying for the family in the difficult days ahead and sending love from Florida to all who knew and loved him.
