Robert Iriart Obituary
January 19, 1927 – January 6, 2017
A loving Husband, Father, and Grand- father, Bob passed away peacefully in his sleep after a long and wonderful life. While the family has lost a patriarch, we all feel fortunate to have had him in our lives for so many years. Bob cared very much about his family, and he was considered a friend by many people.
Bob is survived by his wife Rosalie of 67 years, son Ken, daughter Yvonne, grandchildren Greg, Katie, Adrienne, and Natalie. He was a devoted husband and Rose was the love of his life. He expressed his love for her through so many caring gestures. He had quite a sense of humor and could often been found in recent years teasing and joking with his grandchildren.
As a long-time truck owner and driver, he took great pride in keeping his truck in sparkling-clean condition and always well-maintained. He was a very hard worker and each day he looked to add that one "extra" truck load.
Of his many interests, he was passionate about the game of golf and he continued to play up to his 89th birthday. He was an excellent athlete in his youth, especially in baseball, and he continued enjoying sports as a lifelong fan. Another favorite activity was his daily ritual of reading the newspaper.
Funeral and burial services for Bob will be held at 12:00 noon, Friday (1/13) at Queen of Heaven Cemetery, 2161 S. Fullerton Rd. Rowland Heights, CA 91748.

Hard to believe it's been this long since Bob's passing. I will always have fond memories of Bob enjoying family time and life in general with my parents, Uncle Fred and Aunt Lucy Guillemet and so many others. Rest in peace, Bob.

Rosalie, Ken, Yvonne and Family:
We are so sorry for your loss. Bob was a great person and shining example of the work ethic and family orientation of his generation. My dad, uncles and Bob had great times together at the Basque picnics and other venues. I'm sure they are having a great time right now up in Heaven. Bob was just a fun person to be around and always had nice things to say about others.
He will always be in your heart and your fond memories will sustain during this very difficult time. Rosalie, although we cannot attend the service and burial on Friday, I hope to bring my mom over to visit with you in the near future.
With Deepest Condolences,
Matt, Alane, and Mary Ferrero
