Bobby was the rarest of spirits, a free soul, who made everyone he met feel special. All those who crossed his path thought they were his best friend. Known for his gift of gab and his natural talent for networking, he could sell anything, including himself, to anyone. Bobby DiGangi was so much more than a name – the mere mention elicits everything big, first-class, Motown, loud, gruff, funny, generous, kind, caring, emotional, but most of all love. Cherished by his large family and many friends, they pray his much-loved soul be reunited with the ones who have paved the path before him. He will share his spirit with all of us and help us to adjust to life without his physical presence. We will remember him always and repeat Bobby DiGangi stories throughout our lives. He is much loved and sorely missed already. He has left his mark on our worlds. Such a spirited soul will be welcomed at the gateway to heaven. Soar happily with the angels, Bobby. We love you.
