Robert Carlo Obituary

Robert A. Carlo, Jr. (1942-2025) passed away suddenly on August 12, 2025, in Leesburg, Florida. Born in New Haven, Bob remained close to home for most of his life. He attended the University of New Haven and Hillhouse High School. Robert worked in accounting at Flexi Van Leasing; Beers Hammerman, Cohen & Burger; and New England Consulting Group. Through these experiences, Bob made and maintained numerous lifelong friendships. Bob was known for his strong opinions, his penchant for proper grammar, his fondness for a hot buttered lobster roll, and his great love for all things Charlie Brown. With his home on the sand Momauguin, he could often be found fishing on the rocks or sleeping on his deck in the sun. Bob is survived by his daughter Teresa (Paul) and her mother Rae, as well as his beloved grandchildren Charles Robert, Lila Claire, and Meryl Catherine. He was preceded in death by his parents, Robert and Therese Carlo. A viewing will be held on Thursday, August 21, from 9:30-10:30 a.m. at Celentano Funeral Home in New Haven followed by a Mass of Christian Burial at St. Aedan Church in Westville at 11:00. Interment will follow with his parents in St. Lawrence Cemetery. In lieu of flowers, Robert's family suggests memorial contributions be made to St. Martin de Porres Academy in New Haven.

The many years of friendship were a rare
gift for which I will always be grateful. For the deep conversations,

Yesterday

Bobby and I were summer friends for many years. I lived up the court from him. I was very sorry to hear of his passing. He was a great kid we rode our bikes together. And rode around in his father's Packard.

I was so sad to hear of Bob´s passing and am sending my deepest condolences to his family and friends. Experiencing the gift of Bob´s friendship was a true blessing...he called me "Card", and I called him "Carlo". There was nothing he wouldn't do for you...even if it was simply to just sit and listen. He was a beautiful soul, so loyal and so kind, and his friendship will always be a priceless part of my life. He will forever live on in my heart.

Maryanne and I would like to offer our sincerest condolences. We have known Bob a long time and he will truly be missed. He always had a joke, a great simile, and an upbeat way of looking at things. He would always do so much for others, and most of the time to his own detriment. Bob defined the term "Friend"
