Robert (Bob) Chaperon passed away peacefully on Tuesday, July 22, 2025, embarking on his next great adventure. Born on September 7th, 1934, Bob was the beloved only child of Clara and Joseph Chaperon.

Bob enjoyed a rewarding career spanning over 30 years at General Motors, where he supported the Design Team and built lifelong friendships with many of his colleagues. Though he retired many years ago, he remained in close contact with several of them, continuing the camaraderie they had shared.

Known to most as Bob, he was truly one of a kind-a man who lived life on his own terms. A lover of art, classic films, and especially good food, Bob had a keen eye for collecting unique items and made friends effortlessly. His charm, wit, and warm spirit left a lasting impression on everyone he met.

His enduring legacy is one of friendship, warmth, and love. Those fortunate enough to have known Bob will carry his memory with them always.
