Roberto was a selfless person who put his family first, before himself.  He dedicated many years to the physical and emotional care of his ill sister, Mara.  They were best of friends and inseparable.  She could always count on him to be there when she needed him.  He worked hard for many years to provide for his parents too, so their lives could be more comfortable.  He was an amazing brother and a dedicated and devoted son for all of his life.  Roberto had many friends and was loved by all.  He was a strong, proud Italian who held his own.  Those who knew him well know he was also a good man with a big, caring heart.  No one will forget his handsome good looks, contagious laughter and beautiful smile.
