This Information From Anita Firmani Rozzi
Unfortunately,
I have sad news. I was notified that Bobby Firmani passed away
today. Bob has been very ill for some time, and has been in a
wheelchair for the past four years. I am very sad and sorry about his passing.
I just finished talking with his wife,
Marge. She said that Bob had congestive heart failure about 2
weeks ago and then suffered from another massive stroke. Needless
to say, he became progressively worse over the last few days.
He was able to receive communion and was
blessed by a priest before he passed away. He was always proud
that he was Catholic and always bragged that he had attended St. Vincent
School and had been blessed with wonderful classmates. Bob had a
heart of gold and always loved all of his family and old
friends. He would call me often just to catch up on the latest
news about everyone. Bob was a very giving person. He
always worried about everyone, and was never a selfish person. He
cared deeply for many people. He suffered here on earth for the
last four years, so I know that he is in heaven at this time and finally at
peace. I will miss him.
His wife, Marge, and their son Mark and his
family all live in North Carolina. (5-10-05)

Township, attended Clymers Elementary School and graduated in a class of five
to a class of 300 at Logansport High School. He has donated more than a mile
