We want to recognize his extended Pugliano family and close friends, Ty and Freddie Geas, Vinnie, Frankie C. and Frankie D. We also want to thank Linz for all her help as a neighbor and dear friend.  Bobby thought of her as a daughter.  He has too many friends to name, who were all very important to him. In his professional career, he owned and operated several used car dealerships for over 30 years. He cherished spending time with friends and family and was fiercely loyal. He always had great stories and jokes, was a teller of tall tales, and he had an enormous heart. He adored and loved to play with his grandchildren. He always helped everyone and was a lover of animals, especially his beloved dog Bubbz. He loved his faith, his saint statues, old westerns, model cars, seeing live music, especially Leonard Skynyrd, going to Hampton Beach, The Big E, and having a good time. The magnitude of this loss is huge for the family.
