May you find peace knowing that Bob is watching over you with his great smile and relaxing in his comfy recliner from above. Our thoughts are with you always, Diane & Rich
Heaven has certainly gained a wonderful, new angel. Mr. Losasso always had a warm, yet booming, 'Hello' for you anytime he saw you. I still remember how he fooled me into believing he was a dog whisperer, when he was really secretly sliding treats to the dogs through the fence. It's said that the little things are the memories we hold onto the most and make a person who they are. In Mr. Losasso's case, all those little, wonderful things made a huge impact from an even bigger man. You will be missed, but know that you will continue to be loved. Big hugs and all the love to his family, friends and all who had the joy of knowing him.
So sorry for your loss. Robert was such a wonderful man and a patient of ours at smilesbyfarr. He will be missed.
My heartfelt condolences to the LoSasso family. Sending love, prayers and hugs...
We were sorry to hear the sad news and offer our condolences to the family.
I recall Bob's dedication to our seminary "apostolate from Mundelein to the 16th + 18th street neighborhoods. Working with the Polish and Mexican teens ( not always an easy task) he fought his fears and won over many confused and obstinate young people by his personality. Clearly he was a very giving man, I wish that I had known Bob even better---we were 1 yr. apart in the seminary. Hence our interactions while somewhat restricted were both fun and meaningful. I hope many are joining me in prayer for Bob and his entire clan today and very frequently. May Bob rest in the eternal peace of our triune God.
I love you Grandpa and I will miss you.
