Death leaves a heartache no one can heal, love leaves a memory no one can steal.
Obituary
Robert 'Bob' Joseph Sheraga, devoted husband, father, grandfather, and cherished friend, passed away peacefully on February **, 2025, at the age of 79 after courageously battling pancreatic cancer for over 20 months. Born on November 6, 1945, in St. Louis, Missouri, Bob made Fullerton, California, his home for the past 53 years. Throughout his life, he built a career he was proud of as a dedicated and accomplished software engineer, always prioritizing providing for his family and leaving a legacy of financial security, ensuring their well-being for generations to come.
Bob was a man of quiet strength, steadfast principles, and resolute determination. Recognized for his sharp intellect and reflective nature, he took pride in his cherished collections, prioritized family and education, and found joy in simple pastimes like watching TV and movies. Though he set high standards for himself and others, his demanding nature stemmed from a genuine care and a deep desire to see those around him succeed. His humble beginnings instilled a sense of frugality and a cautious approach to spending, yet he had a deep appreciation for quality and was willing to invest in meaningful items, particularly his treasured collectibles. Bob’s passion for collecting was both vast and diverse, beginning with rocks and gems in his early years and cultivating an impressive collection of Franklin Mint Silver over 35 years, engaging in the process of acquiring new pieces and selling older ones through eBay. His passions expanded to include intricately crafted pocket knives, decorative handcrafted boxes, Wyland sculptures and more.
Traveling the country and enjoying its natural beauty with his beloved wife, Susan, was a cherished part of his life. They loved cruising and visiting destinations like Alaska, Hawaii, and Las Vegas. Although he was not adventurous with food, he delighted in exploring new places, admiring the sights, and discovering unique treasures along the way. Throughout their 55 years of marriage, Bob and Susan built a life rooted in love and unwavering partnership. Their journey was not without its share of arguments and frustrations, yet they remained deeply connected and devoted to one another. Raising their two daughters, Debbie and Nancy, witnessing their marriages, and cherishing the joy of having 4 grandchildren brought immense happiness to their lives.
Bob’s legacy lives on through his family, even as the Sheraga name ends with him, as the last male of the lineage. He was a man of pride and strong-willed determination, leaving a lasting impression on those who knew him. Though he is no longer with us, his presence will be felt in the lives he touched. His family invites friends and loved ones to honor his memory by cherishing their own moments together and reflecting on a life well lived.
