Fr. Bob was a great Priest who would come to Florida & stay at San Pablo for a month while covering for our Pastor on vacation. He was a great man & will be missed.

My husband and I thought the world of Father Urlage. He was more than a priest, he was our friend. He was also a very good customer of my husband’s business. He participated in marrying us, he gave my husband the last rites, and he participated in my husband’s funeral mass. Heaven has gained another angel, and I know my husband will be thrilled to see him again in heaven. I was sorry I didn’t see the obituary until after the services. I would’ve like to express my feelings in person.

Was a very special priest to all at Newport Catholic High School. So glad he was able to do the mass and join us for the 50th reunion for all that graduated in 1968. Prayers for the family. He is in God's loving hands, a great place to be, but will be missed by many.
