I worked with Bob in the Department of Employment Insurance on Summer St in Pittsfield way back in 1972/ 74. He was such a nice guy. I will always remember his gentle, kind nature. Rest in peace, Bob.

Dearest Robin and the Moresi Family, We were so very sorry to hear of your father passing. Please celebrate the 90+ years of his life. Condolences to his family and friends,

Dear Janice, Robin, David and family's: Laurie and I were deeply saddened to hear of Bob's passing. A lifelong family friend, Bob was my Dad's best man and my Dads' his. When I was young, Bob was a tremendous advocate of mine as I navigated my way from adolescence and into adulthood, helping me craft my first resume and showing me employment opportunities when he was with the MA Employment Dept. I strongly believe we all pivot off of special people as we grow through life. People who are genuine and care deeply. If this is true, I pivoted off of Bob Moresi. Always grateful to him and will be forever missed.

Dear Aunt Janice, David, Robin and Family: It was with great sorrow that Fran and I learned of the passing of Uncle Bob. He touched so many people in the family. He had such a positive influence on everyone. It was a great thought that one of his last contributions was organizing the last family reunion. He became the pillar of the family on the passing of his father (Joe) and his brother (Joe Junior). He will be irreplaceable. Tom Righi and Frances Libiszewski
