I just learned of Robert's death and my heart is saddened. I first knew Robert when he was a little boy and have enjoyed watching him grow up! It was always great to see him at QFC, as he was so friendly and had so many nice things to say about his family!! I hadn't seen him for years, but Rich and I will always have great thoughts of him. The Scarpelli family was so well respected and we are sending our condolences. Love to you....nancy and rich gustafson

As a member of Robert's neighborhood I enjoyed to watch him and dad Victor walk down our street every day. They would usually take a "pause" in front in front of our our house (my dog would let met know) which would give me a chance for me go out and chat with them. Robert always made me leave with a smile. His smile was infectious and I will miss it more than you will will ever know. I am so sorry for your loss. He will be very missed. God Bless and Peace be with you!!!
Your Neighbor, Karla

Robert's smile was contagious and it lit up the room. Anyone who was fortunate enough to meet him had a forever friend. The Shoreline High School Class of 1983 has lost a true Spartan. Love and prayers to the Scarpelli family.

Robert was a wonderful classmate from the 3rd through 7th grade at St. Mark's. Our friendship continued through the present and I will miss my friend terribly. I use to look forward to seeing Robert when we attended mass on Saturdays at 5:00pm. I could always depend on a smile and hug from Robert!
Our thoughts and prayers go out to Robert's family during this difficult time.
We will always love and remember you Robert!
Fondly,

I remember Robert from his student days in the Shoreline School District. He was such a friendly and accepting person. Robert was so easy to talk with and time just seemed to slip away in casual conversation. He had wonderful parents. Victor, Sr. and Margie were always supportive and Robert learned much from them. He will be missed.

While at CWU he was a leader in several organizations on our campus and had many friends. My deepest condolences to his Dad Victor Sr., and his brothers Victor and Mike.

Although I didn't know Robert, his father Victor was my shop teacher at Shoreline in 1966-1967. I've always remembered Mr. Scarpelli as a great teacher and good man. Mr. Scarpelli, I'm sorry for your loss and I wish you well in this trying time.
