I met Bob at McKinley Jr. High school in 8th grade. We became life long friends and had great times together throughout our teens and twenties. We slowed down after our marraiges. At McKinley Bob and I were assigned the job of putting up the American flag every day. One morning we were goofing around and dropped the flag on the ground. We thought we'd get the chair for sure for this and swore an oath never to tell anyone about it. I guess by now the statute of limitations has expired and is now safe to tell everyone. So there, we did it and hereby confess. Mrs. Burns never found out nor did anyone else.

Carl Greco and Bob Savaglio I understand they both died earlier this year but to see both their names listed takes me back. I met Sag shortly after he and his family moved into their house on 35th ave. I say "Sag" because that is all I ever called him , he, and Carl Greco also listed as dying the other day, grew up with me going to McKinley elemerntary and then KHS. I haven't seen either of them in years but I always remember them.

Remember Bob because names started with S, always in home room and classes together. Use to borrow his glasses so I could see well enough to copy Ms. Behrends blackboards of science. Hopefully we are friends forever. Have not seen him since high school, but will still miss him, even though I now have my own glasses. Rest In Peace, Bob.
