So sad to read Roberto had passed away. My thoughts are with his beautiful family he was so proud of & loved dearly. He use to brighten the mornings of us all at Atawhai Four Square when he delivered the bread.

So saddened to hear of Robertos passing. A great person with a giant personality. Loved the banter when we saw him at the shop when he was delivering the bread. Such a loss - our thoughts go out to the family - take care of each other

To Susan & Mario, Rebekah, and all of Rob's family,
I am so very saddened...the one time I met this young man, I felt he was a standout personality, and a great father. Just loved his approach to life, and someone I will never forget. Susan, ( and all), my heartfelt thoughts are with you.

Very sorry to hear about Roberto´s passing. While I hadn´t seen Roberto for a very long time I have lots of fun schoolday memories at Nayland and around the basketball courts. I remember Roberto as someone that was always quick to smile and have a laugh and very genuine. Extending my condolences and best wishes to all the family.

We are devastated for all of Roberto's family. A giant loss of a giant man who lit up the day of everyone he came in contact with. His humour was so unique to say the least. Roberto worked with us for at least 7 years and his customers loved his banter to the extent that we never knew what time he was finishing work. RIP Roberto. Arrivederci mio Caro amico.
