As a Sanitation Laborer myself, i know how dangerous the job can be. This was a horrible, tragic accident.

R.I.P. Robert Delvecchio.

My thoughts and prayers are with his wife, son, family members and extended family at Mamaroneck DPW. Thoughts and prayers are also with the driver.

Bobby was well known to the Town of Mamaroneck Fire Department and the Larchmont/Mamaroneck Volunteer Ambulance Corps. A friend to many he will be missed.

When x307 called me today to let me know I was shocked and heartbroken! Bobby was one helluva guy!

Words alone can not state just how good of a guy he was...and I cherish every second I knew the man. I hope his child know just how great a man his father was!

Thoughts and prayers. What a tragedy. My heart goes out to Bobby's family and friends, and also his coworkers who are also working with Bobby that morning.

Bobby DelVecchio is probably one of the greatest guys I know. When first meeting Bobby as a volunteer at Harrison EMS, it was always impressive with his base of knowledge. You sometimes realize that some people just get it. Even as a young volunteer you knew that this kid just knew what he was doing. Having the privilege to watch Bobby grow over the years just made me realize what a special person he is.

His career, while shortened, was a varied career affecting many in the emergency services industry. Developing from a volunteer in Harrison EMS, Bobby became an Empress employee and one of the best dispatchers ever. While working at Empress (this chronological might not be perfect) Bobby went on to work at Sea Tow, TCD,volunteer at TMFD, LVAC, and finally work at the TM Highway Dept.

His caring and ability touched many of us. There remain many police cars, fire chief vehicles and EMS fly –cars that Bobby touched with his dedicated hands. I have the comfort of knowing he personally built 49-11 and 49-12, and never had to doubt the craftsmanship involved. He was the ultimate go to guy. With every industry he became involved with, he automatically became one of the most knowledgeable people in that field.

Not many of us have had as much radio experience as Bobby. His handles of TAC-1, Medic (whatever), Truck 202, “Central”, A-1, 430, E-51, Sea Tow 2, radio repair, or the many other radio names remained ingrained in our memories.

The privilege of knowing and working with Bobby will be forever ingrained in me. Even at a municipal job, not always known for the most productive workday, he stood alone. If something needed to be done, Bobby made sure the job was done well.

The privilege of working with Bobby over the years highlighted many memories and I cannot express the loss and sadness I now feel. However, the knowledge of his contribution to society and many aspects of the emergency services industry bring me great satisfaction of my relationship and experiences with Bobby over the years.

I cannot begin to express my sympathies to his family and friends. His legacy becomes one of knowledge and experience of working with one of the greatest persons I have ever known. We will always love and miss you Bobby, and never forget the myriad of favors you have done for all of us. I sincerely hope your son Milo has the chance to carry on the many great virtues your display.

I had the pleasure of meeting Bobby when I worked for Empress EMS back in 1997.

He was one of the BEST Dispatchers at Empress. He loved Police, Fire, EMS!

All the years that had passed since then we still kept in contact and shared some good laughs

from time to time.

He will be missed by all that knew him.

RIP Brother!
