In Brooklyn's cradle, sixty years ago, Rob emerged, where vibrant city lights glow. With humor rich and spirit Italian-tuned, A lover of life whose heart is festooned. Animals flock to his gentle embrace, With dogs by his side, he sets a warm pace. Sing out, he does, with a voice deep and clear, Melodies soaring, enchanting the ear. Wielding knowledge with grace, he's a friend so true, A heart of gold in all that he pursues. But heed this warning: don't stir up his ire, For Rob's lively presence can spark a fire. To know him’s a gift, his laughter a balm, In his caring embrace, the world's gentle and calm.
