Robert David Lopez (Bobby), aged 80, passed away suddenly at home on December 17, 2021. He graduated from Hanford HS in Hanford, CA and earned an Associate Degree in Psychology from Orange County Community College.
Robert outgrew his childhood nickname of “palitos” (Spanish for sticks) to become an amateur boxer and softball player while serving in the U.S. Air Force. He met the love of his life, Joan, while stationed in Bermuda in 1965.
Robert was frequently seen around Cornwall wearing shorts, regardless of how cold it was, carrying a baby or walking a dog. Generous of heart, he exemplified the spirit of giving.
Robert was predeceased by his sister: Gloria Ramos. He is survived by his wife: Joan; his sister: Carolyn Gonzales; his children David Lopez of Cornwall-on-Hudson, NY, Dr. Andrew Lopez (Fay Kim) of Cherry Hill, NJ and Nina Haase (Darren Farrell) of Cornwall-on-Hudson, NY; his grandchildren: Haley Lopez, Rhys Lopez, Jasper Haase, Cleo Haase, and Jed Haase; and a host of nieces and nephews, cousins, and longtime friends.
Due to the on-going pandemic, funeral services will be private at the convenience of the family. The family asks that in honor of Robert you stop to compliment a stranger, crack a joke, or watch a youth athletic game. The family hopes to have a celebration of Robert’s life in late spring 2022.
