Barbato Rubano

RUBANO, BARBATO Age 79 November 27, 2025. Beloved husband of Louise. Loving father of Rosaria (Thomas) Fowler, Maria (Antonio) Vitale & Donatella Rubano. Proud Nonno of Gina Fowler, Sophia Fowler & Giuseppe Vitale. Dearest brother of the late Rosina (the late Giovanni) Bruno.

Barbato's life was a recipe of love and joy. In the kitchen, he found his canvas-each dish a masterpiece, each flavor a story. Cooking was not just his craft; it was his gift, a way to nourish both body and soul. He delighted in learning, experimenting, and sharing, and his pride swelled when his daughters brought their own creations to the table. Always gentle with guidance, his wisdom was seasoned with kindness.

Family was his heartbeat, the center of his world. Every smile, every embrace, every moment was rooted in love. His daughters felt it in the way he spoke their names, in the warmth of his laughter, in the light of his eyes when they walked through the door. His love for his wife was boundless-a partnership so deep that one was never far from the other. They were two souls moving as one, inseparable in life and spirit.

Barbato's voice, his boisterous laughter, his radiant smile-they linger in the air like the aroma of a favorite meal, comforting and unforgettable. Though his hands may rest, his love remains, living on in the hearts of those he cherished. Today, we celebrate not just a life well-lived, but a love that will never fade
