ROBERT YEGHOIAN Obituary

It is with great sadness that the family of Robert "Bob" Ruben Yeghoian announce his passing on August 27, 2017, at the age of 80 years. Robert was born in Hanford, CA, and graduated from Clovis High School in 1955. He was a hard worker, and in 1979, started the Robert R. Yeghoian Company, Inc. He retired from the company in 1998, but while living in Apple Valley, CA, he was on the board of Apple Valley Country Club. Besides Helen, his family and friends, golf was the love of his life. After retirement, he and Helen moved to Idaho in 2004, but in 2010, they returned to Fresno. He loved to travel the country with Helen, play golf and enjoy life with family and friends. His joyous smile and laugh will always be remembered! Robert was preceded in death by his parents, Kasper and Irene Yeghoian, both of Clovis, CA. Robert will be forever remembered by his loving wife, Helen, of 40 years; and their devoted children, Greg, Theresa, Michele, Charles, Debbie, and Susan; and brother Jack, along with their spouses; and Bob's sisters-in-law and brothers-in-law. He will also be fondly remembered by his precious grandchildren, and great-grandchildren; along with his beloved aunt in Kingsburg, CA; numerous cousins, and countless other family members, and friends. A Celebration of Bob's Life will take place at Palm La Paz Funerals and Cremations, 2983 Tulare Street, Fresno, CA 93721, 559-233- 7267, on Saturday, September 9, 2017, at 11:00 a.m. followed by a luncheon in The Club House of West Lake Mobile Home Park, 2706 West Ashlan Avenue, Fresno, CA 93705. In lieu of flowers, Helen is asking that you make a donation to your favorite charity.

I remember the day when I came to work for Bob,it was one of the hardest days of my life. After 7 years later,and still working hard, I came to love him, Helen, and the job,and were great people to work for. He will be sadly missed and I'll never forget the man who taught me how to lay asphalt along with his brother Jack. My condolences to the Yeghoian Family.

With your death there has been a large hole left in my heart. Your smile and laughter come to mind. Who will greet me when I water my yard? I will miss you dear neighbor. Gods speed.

Words cannot express the sadness and emptiness we feel in our hearts with Bob's passing. He was the cousin that always wanted to get his family and friends together, and besides being on a golf course, we never saw him happier than when he was surrounded by Helen, family and friends.

We find comfort in knowing that he has finished his ultimate golf game, and is at the "19th heavenly hole" having a toast with those he has been missing, while watching down on us.

Our hearts go out to Helen and the family, and we will always hold Bob in our hearts. We celebrate and honor his life, and remember him as our "Elvis"...
