Robert Shapiro Obituary

Shapiro, Robert E.

October 21, 2024. Beloved husband of Marcia Shapiro; loving father of Lori Goldberg (Steve) and Lisa Lieberman (Steve); devoted grandfather of Ryan Lieberman (fiancée Kourtney Brown) and Blake Lieberman; dear son of the late Nancy and Harry Shapiro, Jr.; dear brother of the late Norman J. Shapiro; dear brother-in-law of Sandra Fogel; dear uncle, cousin, and friend to many.

Bob was a graduate of University City High School Class of 1953 and the University of Missouri, where he received a Business degree. Upon graduation he married his college sweetheart, Marcia, and they were married for 67 years. He proudly worked alongside his father and brother for more than 60 years at Harry Shapiro, Jr. Realty & Investment Co. Together, they built something lasting and strong, like the relationships Bob fostered throughout his life. Bob's sense of partnership, both in work and family, reflected his deep belief in the power of connection and working alongside those he loved. His kindness, his attention to detail, his attention to his family and his love for those around him are the legacies he leaves behind. Bob always said his most prized accomplishment was as a husband, father and grandfather of his family whom he loved and admired beyond measure.

Bob was very philanthropic of many charities and was especially supportive of the Goldfarb School of Nursing at Barnes Jewish College.

Services: Graveside service Sunday, October 27, 2 p.m. at Beth Hamedrosh Hagodol Cemetery, 9125 Ladue Road. In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions preferred to the Marcia & Robert E. Shapiro Endowed Nursing Scholarship at the Goldfarb School of Nursing (Mail to: The Foundation for Barnes-Jewish Hospital, 1001 Highlands Plaza Drive West, Suite 140, St. Louis, MO 63110-1337.)
