In Loving Memory of Robert "Bobby" E. Cseplo September 29, 1946 – March 11, 2025
With hearts full of love and memories, we celebrate the incredible life of Robert E. Cseplo. He was a devoted father, grandfather, brother, and friend who touched the lives of so many with his warmth, generosity, and humor.
Bobby was the beloved father of Robert (Kathleen), Jeff Cseplo, and Kimberly Martini (Craig), the proud grandfather of Cody, Ryan Cseplo, and Hannah Foster (Trevor). He was also a cherished brother to David, Jane, Mary, Chris, and Jeanne. Bobby leaves behind a large, loving family who will forever carry his spirit in their hearts. He was preceded in death by his parents, Edward and Elizabeth (Betty), and his brothers Eddie and Thomas (Tom).
Born in Cleveland and raised in Burton, Bobby graduated from Burton High School in 1964, where he was the MVP of his football team, playing offensive and defensive linemen alongside his brother Tom, the quarterback. Shortly after high school, Bobby married his high school sweetheart and homecoming queen, Darlene Erasmus, and began working in the family business in Burton alongside his siblings before starting his own successful business in the late 1970s-a legacy that continues to thrive today.
Bobby was a man who lived life to the fullest. From childhood mischief with his brothers and sisters to coaching and supporting his kids in all their activities, his presence was always felt. He had a deep love for horses, from training and playing the ponies to helping his daughter show them. He never passed up a chance to travel, share a dad joke, or partake in the famous Concord Crawl with his many dear friends. He was a giver to his core, always willing to lend a hand (or the shirt off his back), and had unwavering optimism and unshakable tenacity. And of course, he liked to remind everyone that he was the boss-whether it was in the family business or just in life, Bobby's confidence and humor always made it clear he was in charge of the fun, love, and laughter.
To know Bobby was to love him, and to love him was a gift. His kindness, laughter, and larger-than-life spirit will be profoundly missed by all who had the privilege of knowing him.
