Robert Zurfluh Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers on Sep. 18, 2025.
Robert Francis Zurfluh passed away at the age of 87 on August 19, 2025 in Berkeley, California. He graduated from Berkeley High School and attended the San Francisco Conservatory of Music.



He cherished his family and friends and thoroughly enjoyed cooking, nature, books of varied subjects, and collecting antiques. As an accomplished pianist he brought joy to many through his music.



Robert was born to Raymond and Evelyn Zurfluh (Meneghetti). He is survived by his son, Lance (Lisa) Zurfluh; his three granddaughters, Arielle (Kyle) Skillman, Ashlyn (Mike) Webb, Allison (Joshua) Castaneda; his many great-grandchildren; and his brother, Raymond (Shirley) Zurfluh Jr. He will be dearly missed by his numerous family members and friends.



A private celebration of his life will be held at a later date.

I have so many wonderful memories at my grandfathers house. I remember him playing the piano and me even learning at a young age. I remember him telling me he had a dinosaur egg in the basement and being so excited!. Looking back grandpa had everything there! He always had so many wonderful treasures to share with us and I will always miss him.
