Robert Jakubowicz Obituary
Bobby was born on January 11, 1955 in South Bend, to the late Joseph S and Geraldine (Galvas) Jakubowicz.
Bobby is survived by siblings, Joseph B. (Laura) Jakubowicz Julie (Denny) DeBuysser, and Billy Jakubowicz; nephews, Kyle (Denise) Jakubowicz and their children, Mason and Connor, Matthew (Melissa) Jakubowicz, Christopher (Jaci) Martin and their children, Hadley, Dylan, and Owen, and Chris Jakubowicz and his children, Megan, Grace, AJ, and Everly. Bobby is also survived by his very special neighbors that always kept an eye out for him, Wally and Cindy Rodick.
Bobby was incredibly gifted with anything mechanical. He would be able to fix almost anything. He was also a great friend who cared about those around him, and would always look forward to dinner with his sister every Sunday and Wednesday. Many people knew him from his time at Chaunceys Restaurant. One of his favorite things, though, was playing the lottery - always waiting to win the "Big One".
Friends and family will be received on Sunday, April 27, 2025 from 6:00 pm – 8:00 pm as well as visitation on Monday April 28, 2025 from 9:00 am – 11:00 am at the funeral home, A Mass of Christian Burial will take place at 11:00 am, that Monday at Holy Family Catholic Church. Burial will follow immediately at St. Joseph Cemetery.

Dear Julie and family I´m so sorry to hear about Bobby. I just found out today on Thursday, May 1. You have my deepest sympathy. He was quite the guy Shirley from the beauty shop.

Bobby, you will always be a big part of the "Concord" neighborhood! And will be missed, walking by with a smile and a wave, as you check up on your neighborhood. God Bless you and keep you as you rest in peace.

I will always remember Bobby. I grew up on the same street in the 70s and early 80s. To me, he was a giant. I remember him coming down to Johnny's house and sometimes we'd go over and visit. RIP, Bobby.
