Robert Pagliarulo Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by Cartwright Funeral Home - Randolph on Mar. 10, 2026.
It is with heavy hearts and profound respect that we announce the passing of Robert J. Pagliarulo, a cherished brother, cousin, uncle and friend, who departed this world on March 7, 2026, after a determined struggle. Robert was born on July 13, 1951, in Boston, Massachusetts.

Robert was the beloved son of Margaret E. and Alexander L. Pagliarulo, who predeceased him but whose values and spirit he carried forward. He leaves behind a devoted family, including his sister, Mary of Florida, and his brother, Mark of North Carolina. His cousins Mary Lou Moschella and Theresa Hough, along with her husband Joseph, and nieces and nephews, along with countless friends who were more like family, also mourn his loss.

A proud graduate of Brighton High School in Boston, Robert dedicated many years of his life to working as a housekeeper at the Airport Hilton Hotel. There, he served with integrity and pride. As a proud member of SEIU Local 615, Robert exemplified the values of hard work and camaraderie that defined his life.

Robert's commitment to service extended beyond his professional life. As an active member of the Knights of Columbus, he served as an officer in his Council, demonstrating his unwavering dedication to faith and community. His fellow knights will remember him as a leader who brought warmth and humor to every gathering.

Perhaps one of Robert's most endearing qualities was his love for Boston sports. Whether cheering from the stands or discussing the latest game with friends, his enthusiasm was infectious. His passion for life extended to his love of travel, often setting off on spontaneous adventures that would become treasured stories shared with loved ones. His remarkable memory for dates and places made him the family's historian, a keeper of cherished memories that will continue to inspire.

Robert was known for his quick wit and gentle soul, qualities that endeared him to all who knew him. His kindness knew no bounds, and those fortunate enough to call him a friend knew they had a companion for life. His devotion extended to those who had passed, as he faithfully honored the memory of deceased friends and relatives with visits to their resting places on special dates.

Robert J. Pagliarulo, you will be deeply missed but never forgotten. Your legacy of love and laughter will forever linger in our hearts. Rest in peace, dear friend.

Relatives and friends are respectfully invited to attend a visitation period Thursday, March 12th from 4:00-7:00 PM in the Cartwright Funeral Home, 419 North Main Street, Randolph. A Funeral Service will begin in the funeral home at 7:00 PM. Burial will be private.

In lieu of flowers, the family kindly asks for donations to be made in Robert's name to a charity of your choice, reflecting his lifelong commitment to helping others.
