My memory of your dad was his love of trains and the spectacular set up he had. I’m sorry for your families loss. May the good memories help you through this tough time.
Bob was a good person and a dedicated contractor. The best concrete guy I ever worked with. Enjoyed visiting at Dennys often. My condolences to the family.
Tom
Our sincere condolences to the entire Dabruzzi family during your time of loss and bereavement. May the God of your understanding, along with the love and support of your family, and the beautiful memories, comfort you all during this difficult time.
To Bob’s Family and Partner, Linda;
A friend in Hudson told me about Bob’s passing. Shortly after our move to this area, Bob & Linda befriended us and we enjoyed many good times with them and our group.
My sincerest sympathies and prayers are with you all.

I just received the news about Bob’s passing and was very saddened about the loss. My sincere condolences and prayers to his family.
Bob was one year younger than my husband, Dick Larsen, and they were lifelong friends. Dick was treated like a member of the family by Joe and Anne, as well as his many Italian aunts and uncles.
Bob and Dick were involved in many Hudson community projects. Bob’s attention to detail, zest for excitement and humor were always present in his involvement with these many projects.
Bob and his crew poured the foundation for our A-frame on Jacob’s Lane back in 1976. They started the cement work the day before Dick and I took an extended trip to England. When we returned, the foundation was finished and the house was framed up.
Dick and I moved to the Madison area in 1994, but we traveled to Hudson regularly to visit with family and friends.
Bob was the last member of a group of Hudson businessmen and friends who had met on a near daily basis at Dibbo’s and Dick’s Bar to solve the world’s problems: Dick Larsen, Fred Kremer, Bill Radosevich, Roger Evenson, Willis Miller, and Bob Johnson. They all worked hard and played just as hard. I am sure these friends are back together again in heaven, telling stories of the good old days. Rest in Peace, Bob.
