Bob passed away April 25 ^th , 2021 of Haddon Township NJ, formerly of South Philadelphia, at the age of 66.

Loving husband of Rosemarie A. Mello (nee Roman). Beloved father of Lauren M. Pagliaro (Mike) of Haddonfield, NJ and Robert J.

Proud grandfather of Michael Jr., Christian, Grace, Nicholas, Evelyn and the late Cecilia.

Bob loved nothing more than being in the company of his family and friends, building many wonderful memories throughout the years.  He will be missed by all who had the pleasure of being with Bob around the dinner table, coaching and on the sidelines of countless sporting events for both his kids and grandchildren, or on the beach, near and far. Bob spent the past 41 years married to his best friend and love of his life, Rosemarie. He was the ultimate family man, with his wife, raising 2 children and blessed with 6 grandchildren.  He was by his children and grandchildren’s side for everything from their first steps to their first days of school and everything big and small in between.  Recently retired, Bob was a successful entrepreneur and businessman, launching several businesses in the logistics and commodity industries.

Family and friends are invited to attend his Memorial Mass, Mon., May 3 ^rd , 11 AM at Saint Joseph the Worker Parish Saint Vincent Pallotti Church, 901 Hopkins Rd., Haddon Twp., NJ 08033.

To view the Mass online, go SVP church website and when you click on LIVE STREAMING you are taken to a different website. If the Mass has not begun yet, you may need to "refresh" the website before clicking on the play arrow. This has been our only complaint, just pushing the play button without the "refresh" is trying to see the church from the original time you entered the website. Streaming will begin 5 minutes before Mass begins at 11:00AM

In lieu of flowers, contributions in Bob’s memory may be made to Abramson Cancer Center Perelman Center, 3400 Civic Center Blvd., Phila. PA 19104 or the Ronald McDonald House, 550 Mickle Blvd., Camden, NJ 08103.
