My deepest condolences to Claudia and Luba. Today was a sad day as my friend of 54 years was put to rest. I will miss our conversation about the old country and sports and just life in general. Time goes by so quickly and I valued the time we spent together growing up. You will be missed rest in peace dear friend.

Robert and I worked together for 10 years at Nidec Shimpo. He went out of his way on his own time to drop off assemblies at a machine shop and pick them up when they were completed. He liked talking about all the great rock concerts he went to and had a love for music. Robert would also tell me about the success of his daughter at school and her trip to Europe, always with a proud smile on his face. He was a kind, generous man and a great guy to work with.

I know your life

On earth was troubled

And only you could know the pain

You weren't afraid to face the devil

You were no stranger to the rain

Go rest high on that mountain

Son, you work on Earth is done

Go to heaven a shoutin'

Love for the father and son

Oh, how we cried the day you left us

We gathered round your grave to grieve

I wish I could see the angels faces

When they hear your sweet voice sing

Robert was a true gem of a person, co-worker, friend and neighbor. His infectious smile and frequent hum of a tune would lighten the mood on a dismal day. He was always their to listen, be supportive and wasn't quick to judge.

During his time at Nidec/ Shimpo, I enjoyed our lunchtime walks around Nestlé and the complex pond in Itasca. I have fond memories of us barely escaping a 100+ year old willow tree crashing down nearly 20 feet in front of us. Needless to say, we both bought lotto tickets that same day just to see if that near miss made us extra lucky.

Robert undoubtedly loved his daughter and was extremely proud of her and her accomplishments. Any chance he could get, he would mention what she was up to. His love for his two dogs, Sparky and Frankie were apparent along with his vast knowledge of music.

I am fortunate to have known him and have spent time getting to know what a truly wonderful person he was. The warm Italian greeting and fond memories we have will live on forever. Farewell, my friend, until we meet again.

Sending my deepest condolences to Robert's family.

Rest in Peace, Robert

Robert - To say you will be missed might be one of the biggest understatements in history. I will always remember you for being the one person (other then Yoli) who always asked me how I was doing and shared a story with. While  I only worked with you for a few short years you found a place in my heart. I will always remember you and thank you for all you did to support me as I was trying to learn what the heck I was doing...Rest in Peace
Thank you for letting me be y…

May you rest in peace my friend. Blessings to all.

Rest in paradise, Robert 🤍. Luba and Claudia, I’m so sorry to hear of Robert’s passing. He was such a nice person. I’m praying for your peace and comfort. 

Oh Robert! If I knew our last hug was our last one I would have hugged you harder! 

It just makes me so happy that Gala recognized you! You meant so much to her, she would be so broken to hear the news! 

Wherever I see kindness I see you! You were an angel on this earth!

Oh Uncle Robert, how you will be missed. May you rest in paradise, smiling nonstop, telling endless stories about your days, and eating all the delicious food your heart desires. You always made Fernie + me laugh and we will forever miss your voice and conversations. We love you so much and miss you every day.

Oh Bobby! Rest in peace brother.  Our memories will be cherished, and your void will always be present.  I learned you are an Angel, with the most humble soul.
