Robert Rocco Tiseo

TISEO, Robert Rocco. March 27, 2025. Age 82. Beloved husband of the late Virginia (nee Parisi). Loving father of Michael (Tiffany), Robert (Amanda) and Michele (Lance) Adams. Proud and adored grandfather of Samantha, Sarah, Mackenzie, Savannah, Rocco, Gavin and Michael. Dear brother of Angelo (Susan), Rick (Nancy), Bruce (Toni), the late Louie and the late Michael. Predeceased by his parents Louis and Bertha.
He hired into Ford Motor Company in 1961 and became a UAW member. Early in his time at Ford, he realized a passion for helping people and became a full time UAW Representative which would shape the rest of his career. He would spend the rest of his working days with the UAW, holding multiple positions including Committeeman and Chairman of Mt. Clemens Vinyl and Paint Plants. He would go on to follow in his father's footsteps as President of UAW Local 400, and ultimately was appointed to the International Staff of the UAW from which he retired in 2003.
Bob enjoyed spending time with family and friends, making his own wine, golfing, gardening, and cheering on the hometown teams. He was a "foodie" and loved spending time in the kitchen cooking wonderful meals for loved ones while storytelling about past times.
We will forever carry your memory in our hearts.
We would like to give heartfelt thanks to the staff at Henry Ford Macomb Hospital for all their love and care.
