Robert Charnetsky Obituary
83, of Litchfield Park, AZ, passed away on Monday, May 23, 2011. He was born in Hinigaran, Negro Occidental, in the Philippine Islands on March 16, 1928. He attended university and medical school in Manila, before moving to the U. S . in 1955. He completed multiple residencies in surgery and general practice at hospitals around the Chicago area. There he met Lory, the love of his life, and they were married in Berwyn, IL. They moved to Arizona so that Bob could open his own private practice. They fell in love with the small town of Litchfield Park, and have remained there ever since. Bob practiced general medicine in the west valley for over thirty years. He was a dedicated charter member of the Estrella Rotary Club, with perfect attendance for 35 years. He was incredibly interested in computers and technology, and loved playing bridge with his friends. He was an avid reader, enjoyed listening to music, watching sports and movies, and taking pictures of his family. He loved chocolate and cream soda, LaTraviata and Carmen, James Bond, the Phoenix Suns, Harry Potter, and Apple computers. He is survived by his wife, Lory, three sons, John (Molly), David (Tracy), Paul (Susan), and one daughter, LeSha (Kim), his brother Victor (Letty) and nephew Victor Stephan. He was a proud grandpa to six grandchildren; Christopher, Anastasia (Jarred), Natalia (Tom), Jennifer, Laurel, and Aleksander, great-grandpa to Madison, Sophia, and Cameron, and "Tito" to a large extended family in the Philippines. He is preceded in death by his parents, Vladislav and Jovita, and brother Marino. Visitation will be on Tuesday, May 31 from 5p.m. to 8p.m with a Rosary recited at 7p.m., at St. Thomas Aquinas Catholic Community, 13720 W. Thomas Road., Avondale, AZ.
