Publish in a newspaper

It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Robert John Mastrarrigo, who departed this life peacefully on September 9, 2025, at the age of 61. Robert was born on February 15, 1964, in Hollywood, Florida, where he grew up with his loving parents Salvatore and Claire Mastrarrigo.

Robert was a dedicated husband to Lisa, his loving wife of 14 years, and a loving father to Krystina. He was a proud brother to Michael, Raymond, Charles, and Gerard, and a loving uncle to Vincent and Colbi. He was affectionately known as Papa Goomby to Lisa's grandchildren, David and Madyson, and her children, Amber, Devin, and Susie. Robert was a die-hard New York Yankees and Oakland Raiders fan.

Robert's kindness and unwavering love for his family will never be forgotten. A funeral service will be held at Boyd Panciera Family Funeral Care on September 18, 2025, from 5:00 to 9:00 PM. The Burial service will be located at Fred Hunter's Hollywood Memorial Gardens North on September 19, 2025, at 11:00 AM.
