It was with great sadness we learnt of Bob's passing away. He was mentor at work and outside.

I just learned of Bob's passing. My condolences to the Socci family. I had the pleasure of working with Bob as a supplier when he was at RCA/GE/LM. I was always remember him for his passion and dedication to engineering, fine food and drink. I will miss him.

I read the obituary about the loss of your loved one and I extend my sincere condolences. May you find loving comfort to know “God is
near to those broken at heart and those crushed in spirit he saves.

Dear Robert and Eddie,
I will miss your father sooo much. I can't imagine anyone living in that house but Bob and Zita. Since I've had this arthritis, Bob was such a big help to me. Taking in my trash and recycling cans, bringing up my newspaper to the door, picking up branches, any favor I needed. He was ALWAYS very kind and polite.
Also did you know that he and Mr. Murphy build my deck out back? Well, mostly Bob built the deck (he was the brains). Mr. Murphy handed him the nails and the bottles of Bud! LOL
He was a good neighbor and a good man. It was my pleasure to have known him.
Love, Kathy Murphy
PS Despite the distance, you both did a terrific job of taking care of him these past two years.
Ed and Bob, I'm sorry I was unable to attend the services today. As with your mom, I didn't find out until the day of. I would have loved to have seen you, notwithstanding the reason. I'm always looking for a chance to get to Snover Givnish as it is truly the gateway to the afterlife. I never realized it but my dad and your dad were born only one day apart. Your father was truly an awesome guy. Even though its been way too long since we've connected in any way I want you to know I think of the Socci family more often than you could imagine. (not in a creepy way). The positive impacts your family made on my life are immeasurable. I count my blessings for them. For the record I frequently invoke "We'll get some information on it" whenever my son asks me for something. Your dad was on to something! I hope all else is well as I would expect it to be. Much love, - Greg Heizler (609) 709-8715.

It was pleasure and joy to have worked with Bob at RCA through to Lockheed-Martin. He always had time to talk technical or everyday life. He taught me a lot. I missed talking with him, on almost a daily basis, when I retired. I will miss him more knowing that I will no longer have the opportunity. As an Engineer, he was outstanding – never leaving any doubt that what he was doing was the right thing. As a man, he was better.
Please accept my deepest sympathies.

Bob I will miss you. It was great to get to know you over the last few years and I enjoyed our times together. It was an honor to assist you and I will think of you fondly when anyone asks me "what is new...". My reply will eternally be "why, that's the 13th letter of the Greek alphabet, of course". My deepest condolences to your two sons and their families. He will be missed.
Bob I will miss you so much! I have so many good memories of working with you, going out to eat, asking for your advice, talking about our families and joking about the crazy things that we encountered at work. You and Zita were good friends! Kris and I will miss you very much. We will keep you and your family in our prayers and we will never forget you!
Bob and Ed and families: My wife and I were saddened by the passing of your Dad. His legacy of love, humor, and intellect will live on in your own exceptional families and careers. The Socci family-- and others like them-- were, for me, the building blocks for Delran High School's best achievements and memories. Miss you guys and think of you often.
God Bless,

Please accept my deepest condolences. I worked with and for Bob at RCA/Lockheed. He was an outstanding engineer, had a great sense of humor, and could come with a test for any problem encountered. Bob was famous for his line "Got a minute?" which meant that he wanted to talk to you and that minute was more like 30 minutes.
