Robert Blasko, age 78, of Willoughby, passed away on November 11, 2024, at University Hospital. Born on November 8, 1946, in Cleveland to the late Joe and Rita Blasko, Robert lived a full life with a love for live music, especially rock n' roll. He found joy in sharing the music he loved with his family and friends and was a dedicated father to Taylor Blasko and Emelia Blasko, with whom he created countless memories.
A proud U.S. Army veteran who served during the Vietnam War, Robert was also an entrepreneur at heart. He owned and operated Blasko Remodeling, Sweigert News Agency, and R.E. Blasko Antiques, turning his love of history and antiques into a lifelong pursuit. Robert is also survived by his fiancée, Cheri Deangelis; his siblings, Joe (Audrey) Blasko, Danny (Darla) Blasko, and Mary Ann Blasko; and many close friends who will miss his warmth, loud personality and love for life and the party.
A private graveside service will be held at the Ohio Western Reserve National Cemetery in Rittman, OH and a celebration of life will be held at a later date, spring 2025.

Rob was my handyman buddy. When I would text Rob with a project he would quickly reply back with 'We can do that". Rob was never short on laughs, conversations about music and restaurants, and his pride for his children. He
was kind, helpful, and happy with warm days and the lake nearby. I will miss Rob and feel the loss that he is just not down the street. Rob, you worked hard and kept on moving and living. Rest in peace, Your beach house friend.

I first met Rob seeing music. Turrned out we had a lot in common. Just recently we started to be real good friends staying after the bad played just to talk about real life stuff after the music went down. He certainly was not shy about sharing advice, but he always wanted the best for me. This is a big loss in my life. Condolences and prayers for all who know and love him.
