Bob Carbone--a soldier for the Italian people, Southington taxpayers and his family. His town council tenure made "Sudingtin" a better place to live.
He could be blustery...always made his opinion known but boy he was a good town councilman. One of a kind. They don't make them like that anymore...even if they did, the kind of personality and fortitude Bob had would go to waste. There is no politician who has the guts to just be real.
