Grandpa Robert was such an amazing man and truly someone to look up to! He was kind, hardworking, funny, selfless and humble. He had so many wonderful characteristics of a strong male role model and was the epitome of a true family man.

Thank you for always being so sweet and welcoming. I’ll never forget the small moments like deciding who was going to be the first one to get into the pie at one of the family gatherings or the time you let us carve pumpkins in your backyard. I am so grateful to have known you and become part of the family. Although my heart is heavy, I find peace knowing you lived a rich & fulfilling life and you are now resting with your beautiful wife. You have left a lasting legacy and will always be remembered.

Sending so much love to the family 🤍

Uncle Robert, the unexpected happened and now I'm having to say goodbye to a wonderful uncle.  First, I really enjoyed spending part of my summers at your house back in the day. I still remember the summer that you were adding additional rooms to your house. You would talk about your plans and it was so hard to imagine the outcome. You seemed so excited about it. Then, during our next visit, we got to see the completed house and it was awesome! I looked over at you and you were just beaming in the background.

You've always loved and cared for family throughout your life. You really shined on how well you took care of Aunt Dee when she became very ill. If there is one word to describe you, it would be honorable.  

I still have the lovely jewelry box you made and it will now be a keepsake along with my Aunt Dee's keepsakes.

Goodbye for now Uncle Robert and I extend my deepest condolences to all my cousins for the loss of their father, grandfather, great-grandfather, and  to all surviving relatives.  You'll be dearly and profoundly missed.  Yet I know, without a doubt, Aunt Dee is thrilled to have her 'Elvis' back with her again.

With love,
Julie

Bob was one of the kindest, gentlest men to ever walk the face of the earth. When you were in his presence, you knew immediately you were dealing with a compassionate human who would treat you fairly and take you at face value.  His death leaves a huge hole in our family, and our community.

We have known Bob all of our lives. Our father, Barry, was Bob’s best friend since childhood. Looking back, it is a bit confounding why they would be such great friends: Bob, tall and lean, a gracious, unassuming gentleman; Barry, strong and stout, a loud and gregarious bulldog. At first glance, those two seemed polar opposites of each other, but maybe that was the secret to their lifelong and profound friendship. The yin and yang balance of two men finding each other in this world. 

Bob was family, even more so than our blood relatives. We will never forget those warm summer nights as Bob and Barry sat around the kitchen table, laughing and joking together. Bob brought balance to our family with every roll of his eyes, or the shake of his head at the outrageous things Barry would say. He was there for every important moment — confirmations, graduations, Christmases, weddings. And he was there for every person who crossed paths with him. But he wasn’t just there. He was present. He listened. You never felt threatened or judged when he turned his face toward you. You felt accepted, even loved. Even his old dog, Leo, seemed to reflect his gentleness and unconditional love, no matter what chaos unfolded around him. Bob saw you and you were enough.

Bob may be gone, reunited with his beloved wife, Lola; his best friend Barry and our son & brother, Vincent. But he will live forever in our memories.  Sending our love and condolences,  
The Dieudonne Family - Jerri, Tracy & Kellie




Mr. Sepulveda, I did not know you personally but your daughter, Anna, shared many stories and loving memories.  You were truly one of a kind.  

Anna & Amber, I am so very sorry.  My heart goes out to you and your family.  May you find comfort in the many stories you and your family will tell each other, remembering your father / grandfather.  It's those special memories that count.

Dear uncle,

Thank you for always keeping an eye out on us kids while you were working in your garage/shop and thank you for the beautiful Barbie furniture you made for my daughter!!   Your kind heart and thoughtfulness will be missed.

Please give my aunt a big hug and a kiss for me!  XOXO

Condolences to my cousins and extended family...so sorry for your loss.

Love,  Dora 



You’ve been my best friend since I was your constant shadow as a young child.  I followed you everywhere… from our Ole’s Hardware runs to spending countless hours in your garage playing with your tools and saw dust for my mud pies.  My childhood memories are filled with playing on the ‘only’ painted hopscotch on the block, the playhouse that you built, a yard full of bikes, and green grass to do endless cartwheels.  As an adult, I’ve ‘lived for’ our playful bantering back and forth about so many topics.  You made me a true Dodgers fan and I will always treasure watching the games with you side-by-side in the recliners (and napping too).  You’ve been my heart, my rock, my support, and my confidant.  Dad - - - you did it!  You checked off all the boxes!!  You did everything a Dad is supposed to do for his family.  You did your job as a man, as a friend, as a son, as a brother, as a husband, as a father, as a grandfather, and as a great-grandfather (and great-great)!  Please be at peace with Mom, who we know you missed so very much.  Thank you for being my father!  I love you!  

... your daughter, Anna

My Brother Robert

I will see his loving face always.
I will hear his gentle voice always.
I will speak his name in my prayers always.
He will have a place in my heart always.
                       Love,  Vera

My deepest condolences go out to the Sepulveda and Lopez family during this most difficult time. I am so sorry for your loss.

I will always remember Robert as a man who lived a life of riches defined by the legacy of children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren, he LOVED, raised, and mentored. The only one missing in his life was his queen, my Aunt Lola, who he loved abundantly in everything he did. 

Foolishly, sometimes I felt as though Robert was immortal, and for that reason thought this day would never come. In reality, he was a kind loving soul. A man of wisdom, an idealistic contributor to any conversation, patient, and talented beyond measure. As a child, I remember Robert often tinkering with something in his garage and wondering what masterpiece he was creating now? Although my Uncle Robert’s passing is a tragedy, I know he missed his queen, and for that and other reasons only God knows; he decided it was time to take Robert home. 

Robert, I am grateful I was able to see you one last time over the summer. I love you and will always remember you. 

P.S. The Dodgers were not able to take down the Braves but somehow, I think you already knew that. Also, my mom said when it is her time, she’ll bring the pan dulce and tamales for you, Dee, and Lasorda, if you have the coffee ready!


Even though I did not have the pleasure of knowing Robert Sepulveda personally, I feel as if I came to know him through the stories, memories and photographs shared with me by his daughter Anna, granddaughter Amber and his great granddaughter Alyssa.  
 
Above all his many accomplishments in life, Mr. Sepulveda was a proud patriarch who provided for, supported and loved of his family. The home that Mr. and Mrs. Sepulveda created was one that offered love, shelter and protection to everyone under it. They saw the beauty and value in everyone and celebrated everyone’s individualistic qualities proudly. 
 
Anna spoke of her father often and always with visible admiration from the twinkle in her eye to the smile on her face and the laughter in her voice and her Sundays were reserved for them. He was not only her father but her dad, best friend, teacher, mentor, and best of all LA Dodgers partner. Dodgers fan or not, their spirit, passion and love for the sport of baseball is contagious.   
 
Anna is someone I admire and she is who she is because of her dad. Anna continually lives her life in-line with the values and lessons that her dad taught her and that she in turn taught her daughter Amber. They both do all the things that would make any parent proud and from above I have no doubt he will be smiling down on her for the rest of her days.  

Papa, you were much more than just a grandpa or even a great grandpa to me and my kids.  You were the father figure that they never had and I could never thank you enough for all that you did for us.  From drop offs to pick ups from school, to bike rides around the block and to the park, to swing sets and pools in the back yard, from putting them to bed for their naps to making their beds to sleep on when they needed one.  I will forever be grateful for having you in my life.  You are truly one of a kind!

I love you

Anna and Amber - I am so sorry for your loss.  I only had the opportunity to meet your dad/grandpa a few times, but, from the countless stories I have heard about him and his role in the family, I feel that I knew him.  He was a special man who was deeply respected and loved by his children, grandchildren and great grandchildren.  While it is a profound loss for your family, you have a lifetime of wonderful memories to bring you comfort - until you all meet again.

You were an adoring father, grandfather, uncle and more to so many; an unrelenting, caring husband to Dolores; and a man of incredible humility and good deeds.  The example you set and your unmistakable presence will live on through the familial generations you fostered and enabled.

Emily and family.  

Kathy and I are so sorry to hear of the loss of your father.  We send our deepest condolences  to you and your family.   Our prayers are with you. 

I remember Papa when I would go to see him and nana for Christmas and other holidays when I was with Derrick. He was always so sweet and was always staying busy. I remember all the work he tell me he did on the house and I remember how he liked to hang out in the garage. He was a sweet grandpa and was blessed to have such a beautiful big family. I will never forget Papa or Nana❤️🕊
Rest with the angels and Nana now.
It’s never goodbye forever it’s only until you meet again. 
Sending prayers and hugs to the family.

Dad, I will remember all the stories you told me, especially the one about me running to your car to greet you when you would come to take my mom on a date. Also seeing how much you loved mom since I was 5yrs old. I Love You!

Goodbye Dad.  You were an amazing man and father.  Although I was your stepchild,  you NEVER made me feel like it.  I was always your daughter and you were always my dad.  I will always miss you and always remember you and mom together forever.  I love you ❤
