Robert Crespo Obituary

Robert B. Crespo
09/11/1942 - 12/14/2025
Robert B. Crespo, a devoted family man and respected member of the community, passed away peacefully at the age of 83. Born and raised in San Francisco, Bob graduated from Balboa High School, Class of 1960, and later served honorably in the United States Army.
Bob built a long and respected career in auto parts sales as co owner of M&M Auto Parts in San Francisco and Millbrae, where he made lasting friendships and earned the respect of many. He later retired as a project manager from Architectural Glass and Aluminum. After retiring from AGA he and his wife settled in Oro Valley, Arizona.
Bob was the loving husband of Judith Crespo for 38 years and a devoted father to his children Robert Jr., Ronald, John, and Andrea; and stepfather to Annette and Daniel. He was also a proud grandfather to 15 grandchildren. He is survived by his sister Kathy and many beloved nieces and nephews. He was predeceased by his parents, Macio and Arminda Crespo; his son, Robert Jr.; and Geraldine, the mother of his children.
Deeply rooted in his heritage and faith, Bob was a proud member of the Knights of Columbus and the Italian Catholic Federation, living out his values through service, humility, and compassion. He was also an avid golfer who cherished time on the course with family and friends.
Bob will be remembered for his warmth, steady presence, and the love he shared so generously. His life was a testament to loyalty, hard work, laughter, and unwavering love, and his legacy lives on in the family he treasured and the many lives he touched.
A Funeral Mass will be held on Saturday, January 10, 2026, at 10:30 AM at St. Robert's Catholic Church, 1380 Crystal Springs Road, San Bruno. Services will conclude at the church.
In lieu of flowers his family appreciates donations to the Alzheimer's Association, P.O. Box 96011, Washington, DC 20090.
