Robert Louis Colarusso, 65, passed away on January 2, 2025, in New Smyrna Beach, Florida. He was born on August 7, 1959, in Brooklyn, New York.
Robert is survived by his brothers Sal, James, Anthony, and Daniel Colarusso; his sister, Philomena Colarusso; and his nieces and nephews, James M. Colarusso, Kane Colarusso, Dominic Colarusso, Elizabeth Osland, and Lydia Rose Colarusso. He was preceded in death by his parents, James Vincent and Anna Fino Colarusso, and his sister, Rose Colarusso.
Robert grew up a devoted fan of the New York Mets, Giants, Knicks and Rangers - and Willie Mays. He had skilled hands that he used for decades as a dental technician in Brooklyn and South Florida. Robert loved food and especially the gatherings around big meals that brought laughter to the family and many friends he held close. His presence will be deeply missed by all who knew him.
A service to honor Robert's life will be held at a later date in New York.

This came to me as a shock, Bobby was a wonderful friend and an awesome all around cool and fun guy, we worked together in S Florida and remained friends over the years, even though we did not see each other for over a decade we always kept in touch. Talking to him was always entertaining, we shared a live for food and good laughs. I will miss you greatly my dear friend. Be kind and love everyone in your life, one never knows when the last time is.
As I hung up the phone with Bobby on our last conversation I would have never thought that day would be the last I would hear his jokes, his laughter and his wonderful deep voice. I love you Bobby and I will see you again in the next life!!! Have a whole pan of lasagna for us
