Robert DuFore

DuFore, Robert A beloved husband, brother, father and dear friend died peacefully in his home early February 11, 2012, after a long battle with MDS. He was 81. Bob was born and raised in Chicago. He graduated from the University of Illinois Champagne/Urbana with a degree in Electrical Engineering. He married Marguerite (Rae) Sachse in 1955, and together they raised three children, first in Rockford, IL and then in Bayside, WI. Bob worked as a technical salesman for both Digital Equipment Corporation (DEC) andAllen-Bradley. In 1999, he and Rae moved to San Mateo, CA to be near their daughters and grandchildren. Through his every day actions, he taught everyone he met to love unconditionally, smile a bit longer, think more deeply, always see the positive in everything, and love life every day. In addition to the love and support of family and friends, Bob found great strength, care, and support from the nursing staff at the hemotology clinic at the San Francisco VA Medical Clinic. Bob is survived by his wife, Rae DuFore; his three children, Terri, Suzanne and Valerie; his six grandchildren; his brother Norm; plus many friends and special loved ones.
