Robert "Bob" F. Cordova, died on October 8th after a long illness. Mr. Cordova was the founder of Finger Food Products, Inc., the manufacturer of Original Pizza Logs™. Founded in Niagara Falls, his company has been a staple in Western New York and Original Pizza Logs™ have been a household name for more than 25 years. He created 100's of jobs during his tenure and was a great supporter of local suppliers, ensuring the success of other WNY businesses.

Like most small businesses, Original Pizza Logs™ had a very humble beginning. The company started in a small facility behind a convenient store. Today it occupies a state of the art facility which ships product throughout the United States. Mr. Cordova believed in his pursuit of the "American Dream" passionately and made tireless self-sacrifice to build the company into what it has become today. He simply succeeded where most others would have failed.

Mr. Cordova's business and legacy will live on through the next generation. The family vows to work hard every day to build on his great success.
Beyond his success in business, Mr. Cordova was a strong supporter and sponsor of motorsports for more than a decade. He helped countless drivers in many forms of motorsports throughout the East coast. He collected a vast array of awards including: several Car Owner of the Year, Sponsor of the Year, and countless championships in many divisions. Throughout the years, Original Pizza Logs has been aligned with some of racing's most respected speedways and series. Mr. Cordova generously and passionately supported struggling drivers and helped lead them to championships on all levels.

Mr. Cordova also enjoyed collecting and riding motorcycles. Without a doubt, going riding with his buddies was one of his favorite pastimes. He rarely passed on the opportunity to spend time with some of his best friends.

Since childhood, Mr. Cordova had a fascination with all types of fish. He was an avid fisherman and was an excellent breeder of killifish. He earned numerous national accolades and was a frequent "Best in Show" winner. He and his son went on an annual competitive fishing trip to Canada…it must be noted he usually won the annual fishing derby.
