Robert “Bob” 47, went home to the Lord suddenly early Sunday morning.  He leaves Tommy, his dear son and best buddy.

Bob was the youngest of ten children and was preceded in death by his parents, Edward and Patricia Violante and his older brother John.  

He will be missed by his extended, loving family including siblings;  Mike (Laura) Violante, Ric (Connie) Violante, Sue (Dick) Willett, Lori (Tim) Makela, the late John (Sue) Violante, Beth Violante, Nancie (Kerry) Puzio, Patricia Greenwood, Tom Violante and former spouse Debbie Violante.

Always the fun uncle to 19 nieces and nephews, their spouses and children and a dear friend to many others.

Long known for his sense of humor, he had a laugh you could recognize anywhere. Bob loved his son, Tommy teaching him to have fun and enjoy life and nature.  Fishing and especially frying those fish was his passion. Bob’s passing will leave a hole in many lives.

A memorial Mass celebrating Bob’s life will be held on Saturday, November 23, 10:30am at St. Michael’s Catholic Church 11441 Hubbard St Livonia.

In lieu of flowers, donations to Autism Speaks will be appreciated.
