Roberto Trilli

He was born May 7, 1937, in Roccaraso, Italy, to parents Ippolito and Elisena (Bucci) Trilli. Roberto was a veteran of the Italian Army, and was a certified plumber by trade. He emigrated to America in 1960 and eventually moved to Ravenna, where he worked as a mold maker with AC Williams and retired from Light Metals Corp.

Roberto was Catholic by faith. He was a member of the Ravenna Italian American Society, Elks Lodge 1076, and Moose Lodge 1234. While he was a hard worker, Roberto also enjoyed life. He had a deep love for dogs, as well as his family and friends. Roberto never met a stranger and would strike up a conversation with anyone. He enjoyed playing bocce, bowling, and making homemade wine.

Roberto is survived by his children: Claudio (Kathy) and Stephanie (Phil) Laube, his grandson Aaron (Brooke) Laube, and his longtime partner and soulmate, Karen Stalnaker.

Per his wishes, no services are planned. He will be laid to rest in Maple Grove Cemetery. Condolences and fond memories may be shared at www.wood-kortright-borkoski.com In lieu of flowers, please consider a donation in Roberto’s name to the Portage Animal Protective League www.portageapl.org/donate/
