FRANCESCONI, ROBERT "ROBO" Passed away on March 20, 2022, at the age of 71. His battle with serious medical issues in recent years showed his courage in facing life challenges with a smile. Despite the pain, Robert came out a hero and stayed strong until the end. Robert met the love of his life, Beverley, at the age of 16. It was love at first sight. Together, they had four children: Jennifer (Dean), Alex (Shannon), Kelly, Debra (Dave); and 6 grandchildren: Joshua, Jersey, Liliana, Lucas, Thomas and Elizabeth. The simplest pleasures in life brought great joy to Robert. He loved a good golf game with pals, going to the track, attending his grandsons hockey games, family BBQ's and interrogating his children after a night out. Visitation will be at Ward Funeral Homes (2035 Weston Rd., Toronto), on March 24th, from 4:00 until 9:00 p.m. Funeral will be held on March 25th, at 11:30 a.m. at St. Bernard's Catholic Church (1789 Lawrence Ave. W.). Robert will be honored in a Celebration of life on March 25th, at 1:15 p.m. at Weston Golf and Country Club (50 St. Phillips Rd., Toronto). He will be deeply missed by his family, friends and all who knew him. Donations can be made to The Kidney Foundation of Canada in Robert's honour.

Bev, Jen, Alex, Kelly and Deborah, my heart felt condolences on the loss of your husband and Father. I have so many wonderful memories of Robo growing up. In grade 2, after Jen´s birthday party, he sat with me as I cried on the front porch of your home on Massey St, (a home where for the next decade I held so many wonderful childhood memories), after losing at bowling. He lovingly yet firmly knocked some sense into me and made me feel better- he was had a very convincing and authoritative way about him. I remember Robo as being tough on the outside and soft on the inside. He was also exceptionally generous. I am so blessed to have grown up knowing him and know his spirit has reached God as he rests with the the angels and looks over you all from a place of eternal peace.
R.I.P. dear Robo.
Saskia (Brala) van der Spuy.
