You would have been 65 today, I miss you so, I am with cancer too. I have a treatment that is out of star wars, no chemo, no radiation, no surgery, if you had made it a few more years we may have saved you. It breaks my heart, but because you were ahead of me, I knew what to do and not do. Blessed forever thanks to you in my life, until we meet again babe. Love you always.

Another year, without you. So hard to believe how much time has passed. We all talk about you constantly. Your sons are men now, believe me, I never stop worrying about either of them. I get sad for them, that you are no longer in their lives, so it makes cherishing your memories even more special. Happy heavenly birthday. You are forever loved. Rose

Today started out pretty much like any other day, but there was something tugging at my heart, then I remembered…11years ago you left us… it is still so hard to believe. You were strong and passionate about life, you seemed bigger than life. People still ask about you all the time, I am always reminded of stories from others, some I was aware of, others, nope! Your boys are men now, you would be proud of them. Tony played in the World Series Of Poker this year, you would have been crazy with excitement for him! Vinnie will always be a soldier, he is proud of his country. He went back to school this year, I am so proud. Happy Heavenly Birthday Bobby, I miss you, we all miss you❤️

10 years ago today, you went home, I believe your in God's hands, I miss you as much as I did that morning ten years ago, I will always wonder what life would be like if you were still here, you were gone too soon, you have been gone longer than we were together. I am still alone, no one can take your place, no one ever will.

Here is another year, this one would blow your mind, we have a covid-19 virus, you would be out of work, that would have driven you crazy, you loved people and working, this would have prevented you from being you. I may join you sooner than later, I am fine right now, but save a seat next to you. I love and miss you so much.

Without even glancing at the date, you were in my thoughts all night and morning. I am catering a breakfast for 125 this morning (cooked all night), and couldn’t help but remember how the cooking was your job! Mine was to set up, mingle and engage with the customer . So now I can’t help but wonder who you are celebrating with today. Your 8th birthday in heaven, it must be amazing, how lucky you are, how sad I am feeling right now. I miss you, just want to talk, I just want to share some things with you. You are missed, you are loved, you will always be remembered...happy birthday Bobby, I love you

You have been on my mind a lot lately. Can’t stop thinking of all the things you have contributed to so many, that have been left behind, without you. Sometimes I just want to pick up the phone and say hi, or tell you about something that happened to me or your boys, I know you would have been proud of them. Today’s not a birthday or an anniversary, just a day full of random memories. You are in my heart forever, we miss you and love you always. Love Rose and your boys ❤️❤️

Happy heavenly birthday, 6 years ago I learned what forever really meant. Never before had it held such meaning. Tony and Vinnie are doing things in life every day that remind me of you, I think about you all of the time...you have meant so much to so many people, you will not be forgotten. I had a customer come to me at work and tell me they were in Hawaii talking to someone and mentioned they were from Ridgecrest, the person said they had employed a great chef from Ridgecrest and this ladies response was, the best chef that comes to mind is Bobby Genosa... the woman from Hawaii said, yes! He worked for me in Santa Barbara, and I said, you met Jill!! This huge world becomes much smaller when you have love in your heart❤. You were here, you lived and your memory is in our hearts forever. Tony went to Florida last week, stayed with Chenny and met Treva and the entire family. One of the twins said, we have heard so much about you, we have waited a lifetime to meet you. How amazing that it is never too late. Celebrate today, your 6th birthday in heaven...I love you. Rose

It's so hard to believe you didn't make it to 55. I went to my mom's crypt, so many more lives there...so many new people cut short in life. We never know our time.....for having you in my life...I know how important it is to love and be loved. It is all we are here to do, and all that is left behind. Love you Ro xxxooo

Had the pleasure of Bobby catering my wedding at Zaca Lake in Santa Barbara 2001. We worked together at the Santa Barbara Pizza Kitchen and became work friends. We'd catch a beer together after the lunch shift, walk around the pier and talk. I always enjoyed his stories and his food was amazing! He stood in the walk-in frig. to make my wedding cake, it was perfect and 1of a kind like Bobby

My friend Bobby. There is not a day goes by that I don't think about you my friend. We only had a short couple of years together as friends, but they are years that will never be forgotten. You opened your life to my sons and I and made us feel as a part of your own family. You will never be forgotten to me and you will always be my boys " Uncle Bobby"

Bobby's Song

May 24, 2023
He played this for me and his daughter Chenny, he was telling us his life, in this song, he knew he was ill, and he spoke to us with this song. I had no idea at the time, but when I hear the words I know he wanted us to know he loved us, and he lived his life as best he could. Listen to the words. 

Say Hi to David Bowie for me....

January 11, 2016

When I heard that David Bowie, had passed, I instantly thought of you, it is almost 5 years. He passed away from Cancer, this was a secret from his fans until today, I got heart sick at the thought of his wife, watching him die slowly, as I had to watch you ......and then the other memory, you had Bowies song "Under Pressure" as your ring tone on the iphone. I have cried all day on and off, thinking of you and wishing you were here with me, to talk and tell you the lastest, I lost my POP this last year too, all the wonderful men in my life are gone. I will always wait for the day we meet again. xxxooo my Love forever, Ro 

Just thinking about you...

January 28, 2015

Someone asked me yesterday if I talk to you often. She thought you had moved to New York. I told her I talk with you all the time...then I told her you had died almost 4 years ago...she had no idea. It got me rethinking about regrets. Regretting the mistakes we made in the past. Regretting the time you missed with your sons, you would have been proud of them. Tony is 110% DNA match to you! Not at all sure that is a good thing! Then I remember that tomorrow is not promised to anyone and I am glad his spirit is like yours. He will go places, see and do things that most people are afraid to take the chance on. He loves Vegas, cooking and wrestling, wonder where all that came from... Vinnie is more level headed, he joined the Marine Core just before your diagnosis. With 1 foot in the US and the other foot ready to board the plane to Okanawa I called him with the news.  He is strong and caring and plans for the future. I ask myself all the time if things would have turned out differently for you had you seen a doctor sooner. Always the strong one, always tough, never admitting anything was wrong or that you might have needed some help. I saw the signs at least a year earlier, heard them in the tone of your voice and the hesitation of your words. The weight loss was also a red flag. I kept telling you to please go see a doctor, you kept telling me "Kiddo, I am fine, they are just working me too much". I regret not being more persistent... You left behind great memories for so many people. Your cooking talent was second to none, I miss the favors, they are in my memory always. I know you are at peace, surrounded by family, friends and loved ones. My mom and dad joined you this past year, they never stopped loving you.  I adopted a 5 year old English bull dog, I tell her all the time, Bobby would have loved you...I miss you and my heart will always remember and love you.

Love Rose
