Robert "Bob" Anthony Francischetti
d. August 17, 2023
Robert Anthony Francischetti passed away on Thursday, August 17th following a brief battle with cancer in Savannah, GA.
Robert was born in Newark, NJ and raised in Nutley, NJ by his late parents Esther and Alphonse. He graduated from Nutley High School and remained an active and integral part of the Class of 1961. Bobby truly loved his classmates and being part of his class reunion activities. He graduated in 1965 from Rutgers University with an accounting degree. A proud veteran, he served in the Army during the Vietnam era in Kentucky and Heidelberg, Germany. Prior to and after his service, he held positions in several companies until he retired from Ralph Loren in 2010. Robert and his partner Bob lived in Bergenfield, NJ before moving to Savannah in 2012. Robert quickly became part of a loving and caring community in his new city and his many dear friends became his family away from home. Robert was a humble unassuming man who was loved by everyone who knew him. He was genuinely interested in what was happening in their lives and had a knack for making people feel happy.
Robert was predeceased by his spouse Robert Soletto.
He is survived by his brothers John and Paul, sister-in-law Nancy, his nieces Carla (Matt) Baechtle and Renee (Brian) O’Donnell, grandnieces/nephews Gabriella, Thomas, Nico, Noelle and Brian, and his many cousins and friends.
A memorial service will be held at 2:00 pm on Tuesday, August 22, 2023 at Asbury Memorial Church, 1008 E Henry Street, Savannah, GA 31401. The family will receive friends one hour prior to the service, from 1:00 to 2:00 pm at the church.
A memorial service will be held in New Jersey later in the fall.
In lieu of flowers, his brothers request that donations in his name be made to the American Cancer Society.
