Robert Cabotaje Obituary

Robert A. Cabotaje VIRGINIA BEACH - Robert Aguada Cabotaje, 68, departed this earth May 19, 2010. Bobby left Pangasinan, Philippines in 1959. A dedicated patriot with a strong work ethic, he retired from the Navy a chief petty officer after 28 years of service and worked another 20 years for Charleston County and the Magistrate's Office as a police and security officer. A storyteller with a twinkle in his eye, he made friends everywhere he went. He was a fine carpenter and an animal lover with a wonderful sense of humor. Left to remember him fondly are his wife of 44 years, Joanne; his son, Curt (Kim); grandson, Christian (Tegan and Lily); extended family Rolly, Betty, Ernie, Zaldy, Janice, Ruby, Cheryl and their families. Bobby's courage, strength and optimism will be an inspiration for us all. Memorial to be held at a later date.

The last time I saw Uncle Bobby was when he visited Manila in the 80's. I have not seen him since but I remember the stories that my father (Admiro Cabotaje) told us about him.
Words may not be enough to express our deepest sympathies on your loss but you are in our thoughts and prayers. May you take comfort in knowing that wherever he is now, he is watching over you.

Condolence from our family ~ Baldwin, Liza, Amber and Annika
