Robert SPIEGEL Obituary





SPIEGEL, Robert

Robert Spiegel of Kensington, CT was born in Brooklyn, NY on May 2, 1934, lived and subsequently died. Most of his noteworthy accomplishments happened in said middle part. A Professor Emeritus in the English department at Central Connecticut State University, Robert had the rare distinction in his career of receiving five grants from the National Endowment for the Humanities. Over the course of 43 years of teaching, he introduced countless neophytes to the wonders of the well-written word, passionately teaching the likes of Dostoyevsky, Vonnegut, Gogol, Gibson and virtually everyone in between. The final, and an immensely popular course he taught, was that of the literature of baseball. This was thinly veiled therapy to alleviate the trauma he sustained from coaching arguably the worst little league team in recorded (or unrecorded) history and from the sufferings he endured from 40 years as a devout Mets fan. Robert was a frequent Op Ed contributor to the Hartford Courant and NY Times, the latter of which, much to his chagrin, seemed to have long since relaxed the standards of its crossword puzzle. Also known to pen a poignant letter on subjects deserving, Robert was awarded the annual "Letters Writer Award" by the Hartford Courant in 1997. In addition to his university teachings, he also led popular book group discussions at the Peck Memorial Library. The son of Nathan and Kate Spiegel, Robert is survived by the love of his life, his wife Ursula; his daughter Lisa Billa and her husband Jayadev Billa, of San Jose CA, parents of his grandsons Vishal, Vivek and Tejasvin; and his son Jeff (who if nothing else to show from his lineage, inherited his father's sardonic sense of humor) and his wife Vivian Yu, who ambitiously reside on Ambergris Caye in Belize. In addition to his immediate family, he is survived by his father in law, Dr Gerald Blank and his wife Deenie; his brother in law Hellmut Herdey and his wife Karin, his brother in law Dr Michael Blank and his wife Dr Marlene Eisenberg; his sister in law Naomi Blank; niece Lilo; nephews Chris, Elijah and Isaac and his dear cousin Edward Solomon. Robert was predeceased by his parents; his brother Charles; his mother-in-law Lilo Blank; and his niece Dawn. Also departed before him was (were?) a bevy of beagles, all eternally loyal to their benevolent master, if not lacking a tad in their own intellect. At the end of his life, Robert battled with cardiac disease and dementia. Where as the disease did thankfully erase most memories of the '62 Mets season, it eventually also claimed his life. Bedside vigil was fueled by lively conversation, background music of Jimmy Buffet and Bob Marley, chicken curry and the occasional smuggled glass of Glenlivet. On November 30th, 2011, with his family by his side at the Hospital of Central Connecticut, Robert Spiegel passed away peacefully at the age of 77. Funeral services were private. Contributions in Robert's memory may be made to the Peck Memorial Library of Berlin, CT or to the Humane Society of Meriden, CT.
A celebration of Robert Spiegel's life will be held this spring (date and time to be announced) at Central Connecticut State University. Spicy food and good single malt will be served, casual attire expected. The Paul A. Shaker / Farmingdale Funeral Home, 764Farmington Avenue, New Britain, Ct. has charge of arrangements.

I'm reading the wonderful telling of Roberts Spiegel's life well lived again for the first time since 2011. His obituary legacy just popped up into my screen this day after Thanksgiving morning, like an old friend waving a cab for me!
I'm 70 now, and a lot has happened since I first read of Robert leaving us. Eleven years of Joy, medical issues, loss...but most of all an acquired viewpoint that every day is a gift. Whether you find Joy in being happy, grumpy, cantankerous, mischievous or just plain like being alone at times like I do with my dogs...it's Good to be here and find that moment of Joy each day!
And that's what I received from Robert this morning...a refresher course in gratitude in living the best life you can with arms open to Everything!

Jeff, Lisa, and Mrs. Spiegel,

Just heard about your dad via Anne. I am so sorry. The obit is beautiful. Hope you are doing well - wishing you peace.

Many good wishes and love,

I came across this and hope my obit is as well written as his from one Robert Spiegel to another.

January 1, 2012

As many of the other writers noted, I only learned of Professor Spiegel, his noteworthy life and his son Jeff's very well written obituary from media accounts. That is my misfortune. The Professor undoubtedly made a great contribution in enriching the lives of countless students and others who knew him. Who could ask for a better way to be remembered.

My best wishes for a fitting celebration of his life this spring with a plentiful supply of single malt whisky!!

Anyone, I would think, would read this warm and loving obituary then reflect on how much their own lives would have been enriched by knowing this man. I did not know him but am one of those who would have been happy to have had the privilege of meeting him. You all have, I'm sure, a treasure trove of memories to keep him in your hearts and minds.

Just read Robert's obituary as a result of it being featured in countless news sources. Can tell that he was an amazing man and that a very distinct part of him remains very much alive in YOU! God Bless Robert for the wonderful legacy he has left for us all!

Leisa Piper

I loved your Dad's photo in our local paper here in Delaware, and would have liked to have known him just from the smile on his face, sitting on the comfortable sofa. Jeff, if you got his sense of humor, I'm so happy you received that priceless inheritance. My condolences to you and your family.

What a wonderful way to be remembered! I would have loved to have known Mr. Spiegel or to have been one of his students. My condolences to his family.

Barb LaPierre

I am a 1978 graduate of the then Central Connecticut State College. Robert has made me proud to have been part of the same university system - what a sense of humor and how wonderful that he regarded himself as obviously loving and enjoying life at it's fullest!

Jean Clark

I hope my own obituary is written this well! Excellent job Jeff!

Barbara Perry

I'm so sorry not to have known this man. The obituary has made him a legend already and surely his memory will never die. All teachers and professors would do well to follow his example. My condolences to the family.

Pamela Castillo

I never knew this man. I found his obituary on Facebook. I am sorry I never had the chance to meet him or take a class. He sounded like a truly amazing man! My condolences to the family. I hope that Little League team had a sense of humor, though. ;) God Bless you all. I imagine the celebration in the Spring will be widely attended and filled with good humor, good food, and what is undoubtedly a long list of good friends.

Beckie Stroud

This should be a template for all obituaries, whether distinguished scholars or just "workin' stiffs".Jeff, you made your Dad real for those of us who did not know him and we, too, mourn his loss. I can only hope that someone loves me enough to write an obituary like this when my time comes.

I was one of the very LUCKY ones to have had Prof Spiegel at CCSU- each class a jewel to be treasured!

I hope when it's time for my obit, eulogy and celebration of life (not soon I hope), I will be remembered fondly for the things that we all appreciate, family, friends, humor, dogs and preferred spirits. My wish is when the inevitable passing occurs, it brings a smile to the lips of the people I cared about.

December 6, 2011

Thank you for allowing us a glimpse into your beloved's life. Bob Marley? Glenlivet? Sounds like a farewell he would've appreciated.

Jennifer D. Smith

December 6, 2011

From the father to the son . . . It sounds as though the world has lost a great man with a wonderful sense of humor but it is obvious that there still remains much of the father in the son left behind. What a wonderful obituary and tribute.

Bonnie Bracken

December 6, 2011

I read about Mr. Speigel in my local newspaper and wish I would have had the pleasure of meeting the man. This is the first obituary to actually make me laugh out loud. I can only imagine what the man must have been like, but I feel that I probably would have loved him. God be with you and your family.

Robert Spiegel's obit was carried in the Arizona Republic, to my surprise. Years ago, circa 1970, I babysat for Ursula and Robert when their daughter was an infant. Ursula had gotten permission from her parents to request my services since I primarily babysat for them. The two families were very close and wonderful to me. My condolences to the entire family.

December 4, 2011

A hail fellow well met... no doubt. The death of such a person diminishes all of us in an intangible way... the world is a lesser place for his passing.

I read about this fascinating man in the daily paper in Halifax, Nova Scotia. His family, friends and students were very lucky to have known him. I would never have wanted to fall asleep in his class - who would have the vocabulary to understand the comments!
My deepest sympathies and wishes that your memories will be long.

This is what an obituary should be - and what a memorable man your husband and father must have been. As a student of the art of memorialization and a professional in a Coroner's Office I applaud your (his) work in capturing the essence of the soul. Well done. Godspeed Mr. Spiegel.

Luann

Beautifully written obituary. I'm sure Mr. Spiegel is smiling as he looks down on his son and family. A sense of humor is so important in life, but especially in times of grief. Everyone needs a chance to smile!

I, too, wish I'd had the honor of knowing him. He obviously touch many people during his life, and now he continues to do so thanks to your wonderfully written obit.

Got to know Robert only through his obituary, which was - simply put - an ode to joy. God Speed to a lovely and loving soul. Much comfort to his family.

Karen King

December 3, 2011

I think an obituary should express how a person lived, his sense of fun and adventure and his interest in life. Dr Spiegel's obituary was a wonderfully written tribute, he would have enjoyed it.

Just started reading the Buffalo Evening News and read your article on Mr. Spiegel. Shows a picture of him walking with his grandson on a Dominican beach, with what appears to be a NY Mets cap on. Of course I
googled the obit, & what a
touching piece it is. What a joy it was to read, its a celebration of life, Mr Spiegel lives on with every friend and family member, & student that had the pleasure of crossing paths with this wonderful man. God bless your family, & knowing that your father, brother, uncle, mentor & friend is forever walking with you through life in spirit...

Anyone who appreciates single malt whisky has to get my vote!
I realised during a recent funeral of a friend (younger than I) that a lot of the "Life Hereafter" is vested in the collective memories of those we touched while we were alive.
And on that basis - through his son Jeff, Robert Spiegel has touched many many people around the world.
This tribute to a remarkable man, who I never knew but would have been proud to have known, comes from Johannesburg, South Africa.
Both my parents died from dementia - so I feel well qualified to wish Robert a well deserved rest in peace.

Christopher Guy

December 3, 2011

I, too, just read an article about this obituary in my local paper & was propelled to Google it. It is with a tear in my eye & a smile on my face that I write this to say thank-you for sharing this wonderful man with us. His spirit truly does live on & shines through his son. They say the only regrets we take with us are not what we have done in life, but what we didn't do. He is smiling down upon you all with no regrets. May God keep blessing you & give you peace.

Sandy Millis

To inspire students, be beloved by dogs, and have a loving family beside you are much desired and lovingly held traits. It would have be a joy to know him, those who did are truly blessed.

That is truly the best obituary I have ever had the pleasure (if you can call it that when one is reading an obituary) of reading. Robert sounds like a remarkable human being, and all who knew him were better because they did. I certainly hope that my inevitable obituary is as beautifully and lovingly written by my daughter. I share Robert's love for beagles as well. Peace to all of you.

Oh, how I wish I had the opportunity and honor to be one of his students! What a wonderful obituary to an obviously interesting, humorous and learned man. My own father is nearing his farewell at 88yrs after surviving the bombing of Pearl Harbor when he was 18. He would love a spirited send-off like this! He says he's already written it. My condolences to this man's wonderful family and thank you for showing the world that death does not have to be such a totally morose subject.
