I just learned of the passing of Robert. I want to express my sympathies to his family. Robert was always kind to me when I'd see him in the courthouse. A real gentleman. A tremendous loss. May he rest in peace.

Like many many people, I was honored to know Bob by our working together while he was the commissioner of jurors.
As an attorney who selected various juries in Bob’s part for over the last decade, we shared many stories, thoughts, and laughs as we worked together.
Bob was one of the kindest people I’ve ever met. He even read a book I wrote, and insisted that I should have dedicated it to him, lol!
If I would’ve known Bob when I started it, I certainly would have.
More importantly, though his loss is devastating to his family and those who knew him, his life was that much more a blessing to everyone fortunate enough to encounter him. I count myself extremely fortunate to have known Bob, but sadly, the Nassau courthouse will never be the same without him.
Sincerely,
Scott Schneider

From the moment Bob started at Nassau Supreme Court, I knew a special soul had entered the building. A kind, gentle, caring person who went out of his way to help so many. His smile radiated the countenance of love and compassion. No matter what troubles he may have encountered, he always tried to deal with them to the best of his ability. There was a strength in Bob that was admirable. Bob was a fair to all, humble, and devoted. May he rest in God's loving arms and may his family find peace knowing that he lived a life that will be missed by many of us still here.

We met under crazy circumstances. In 2005. I was given a ticket for parking in a construction area where they wanted jurors to park. He made sure to kill the ticket and have bigger signs put up for everyone to see”parking for jurors “. We then talked often over the years about family, him going home for lunch with mom, friends and of course grand children. And recently how our 70th birthday was coming up. Where has time gone. My love and condolences to the entire family. He will be missed.

I will never forget the 12 years spent working with Bob in Central Jury. We laughed every single day, it was so easy to smile and laugh despite sometimes crazy and odd circumstances. I will always remember with happiness the outstanding person named Robert H. Truzzolino: always kind (to everyone, even when they didn't deserve it), hard-working, generous, sweet, thoughtful, intelligent and sensitive. God blessed me with those hundreds of days working for him. I will speak of him in fond remembrance as long as I live. One in a trillion, my RHT. Here was a man who truly made the world a better place.

Bob was my dear friend and mentor for my entire career. We worked side by side for over 26 years. He led by example; in the trenches with his team every day. He always had your back. He made the most stressful days easier and the good days even sweeter. He had a kind word for everyone, a quick joke to lift you up, and a caring ear for all. His gentle presence could melt the tension in any situation. His genuine charm and warmth brightened the day for all. I have never known a better human being. I am devastated personally and professionally. Rest peacefully my dear, dear friend.

Bob was truly a prince among men. Always had kind words for those around him. Made everyone feel special just by being in his presence. I enjoyed working with him so much. He was truly my friend, and I will truly miss him. Bob, may you rest in the Eternal Peace of Our Lod and Savior.

I was first introduced to Bob by my friend (and his brother-in-law) John Venditto after Bob had suffered a very bad car accident. I was privileged to represent Bob and we spent years as he fought through very serious injuries yet he never ever once complained. I was fortunate to have met his beautiful family. Although we were at first attorney-client, we thereafter became good friends. I never met such a kind, caring person who was dedicated to his job, serving the public with a smile, a good joke or quip to his friends and the true family man. I always enjoyed meeting my friend when I had business in Supreme Nassau.so we could catch up and exchange grandfather and family stories. I really miss you, my friend. May Rob's memory be for a blessing.

Leaving the Appellate Court In Brooklyn and starting a job in a snowstorm on my birthday 2/13/2014
was the best day of my life. Bob, my new boss accepted me with loving arms as part of Central Jury immediately. His warm smile and funny personality made me feel welcomed which only grew stronger over almost ten years. He wasn’t only a “BOSS” he was a caring friend to work for. No matter how busy we were he always maintained a smile and handled his position with grace.
Bob was everyones friend and had compassion for people whether it was a juror or anyone he knew. I will miss him forever and now heaven has received an angel.

Growing up with my father working in the same office, I was always around Bob whether it was a quick visit or I stayed for a half day until it was time to leave. Seeing him and my father together, Bob quickly became one of the reasons why I was always after the courts as a career. He would always give advice, always make you laugh, and always talk about anything you could think of. Going to countless Mets, Yankees and ranger games with him along with always venting about the same teams if I called the office, would always be the bright spot in my days. He was kind, humble, funny and always wanted the best for you. You will be sorely missed, big man. Thank you for all the memories and advice you’ve given me over the years. Until we meet again.

My dear Bob, There are no words to express how I feel except that to sum it up: I will miss you forever! We shared so many laughs, so many times of venting, and even sadness but I will never forget that you were always there for me. To the arguing over the Italian pronunciation: "You say manigot and me: manicotti; antipast for you and antipasto for me; mortadel for you and mortadella for me...whatever....I always won. To the unforgettable time when I had just completed my last day of therapy, that day you brought me a bottle of Dom Perignon for all of us to take a little sip. I still have that bottle. This is the person you are: authentic, real and just outright the best friend anyone can have. You don't get to have too many people like you in our lives. I was lucky to have you. Love you always and forever and until we meet again, Luisa

Bob's easy-going, warm manner made me and so many others feel like members of his "inner circle." He always had time for a conversation and a laugh, no matter how busy his day was. I will miss you tremendously, Bob.

There just aren't any words to describe the magnitude of your loss. Bob was one of the finest, kindest, funniest and genuine people I ever met in my 30+ years in the courts. He is irreplaceable. Rest in peace my dear friend.

Bob,
I never took the time to thank you for making me feel comfortable from my first day at Supreme Court. You had that quality that came naturally. I will miss the phone call to Central Jury with you picking up the phone and putting a smile on my face instantaneously with a witty or comical comment. It was a pleasure and an honor working with you and our courthouse is hurting tremendously right now from the loss of our kind, genuine and selfless Commissioner. God bless you and rest easy, my friend.

Bob’s Walk Up Song-
Deacon Blues by Steely Dan
This is the day of the expanding man
That shape is my shade
There where I used to stand
It seems like only yesterday
I gazed through the glass
At ramblers, wild gamblers
That's all in the past
You call me a fool
You say it's a crazy scheme
This one's for real
I already bought the dream
So useless to ask me why
Throw a kiss and say goodbye
I'll make it this time
I'm ready to cross that fine line
Learn to work the saxophone
I play just what I feel
Drink Scotch whiskey all night long
And die behind the wheel
They got a name for the winners in the world
I want a name when I lose
They call Alabama the Crimson Tide
Call me Deacon Blues
My back to the wall
A victim of laughing chance
This is for me
The essence of true romance
Sharing the things we know and love
With those of my kind
Libations
Sensations
That stagger the mind
I crawl like a viper
Through these suburban streets
Make love to these women
Languid and bittersweet
I rise when the sun goes down
Cover every game in town
A world of my own
I'll make it my home sweet home
Learn to work the saxophone
I play just what I feel
Drink Scotch whiskey all night long
And die behind the wheel
They got a name for the winners in the world
I want a name when I lose
They call Alabama the Crimson Tide
Call me Deacon Blues
This is the night of the expanding man
I take one last drag
As I approach the stand
I cried when I wrote this song
Sue me if I play too long
This brother is free
I'll be what I want to be
I learned to work the saxophone
I play just what I feel
Drink Scotch whiskey all night long
And die behind the wheel
They got a name for the winners in the world
I want a name when I lose
They call Alabama the Crimson Tide
Call me Deacon Blues
