One of our industry's very "savvy" men - a true craftsman - always a pleasure to discuss the state of the industry with Roberto.

he will be missed by all family and his customers. He was a true crafts man. He really cared, and took pride in his work. I knew him for the last 9 yrs or so, and he could make any press sheet work that might not have been set up correctly, and still always make the timing. So many times I remember calling him about my jobs to see if timing was still on. He would say most times, "Have you checked your receiving dept. your job should be there or almost there" as usual, thanks again Roberto. A great guy,,,,
