Robert Bulleri

Robert Bulleri, of Lombard IL, and a former resident of Elmwood Park, IL, went home to our Lord after a year-long struggle with cancer. Bob was 55 years old. Bob was born on March 24, 1962 in Chicago, to Albert Bulleri and Lena (nee DeVito) Bulleri. He was the light of his parents’ lives. Bob cared for his father during a long illness and took care of his mother until her death several years ago. He was a good son who did everything he could for his parents and their friends and family. Bob spent his days with his caretaker, Mateo Ledezma. Mateo had a strong bond with Bob, and showed selfless devotion during very difficult times. Mateo and his entire family were there for Bob in a special way, and everyone is grateful for the love they have showed to Bob over the years. Bob is survived by his godchildren, Danny Chairez, Andrea Bevolo, Christian Silvestri and Nicholas Caprio, many loving cousins, including Edward Cavello, Marilyn (nee LaPaglia) Caprio, Lucille (nee LaPaglia) Felisha, Joseph DelMonico and Lisa (nee Del Monico) Schneeman. Bob is also mourned by countless friends and Cook County work colleagues who will miss his warm smile and easy way with people.
