Robert DiVito, 71 of Cleveland, Ohio, was called to heaven September 4, 2025. Treasured husband of Georgeann (nee Fejes), devoted father of Daniel and Elisabeth (Jonathon Matthews), brother, uncle, son and friend. Graduate of St. Ignatius High School and Baldwin Wallace College. Bob was a navy veteran, manager of his Wednesday Bocce league, and trivia aficionado. He enjoyed golf, sailing, and great music. After retiring from a career in nuclear and hydraulic engineering, he volunteered at Sixteen Hands Horse Sanctuary, the Peace River Wildlife and Venice Art Centers.
