October 1, 1942 — May 21, 2022

Robert "Bob” Lonardo, 79, of North Providence, passed away peacefully at Miriam Hospital Saturday May 21,2022 surrounded by his loving family. He was the beloved husband of Carolyn "Cookie” (Maksymowicz) Lonardo for 53 years. Born in Providence, he was the son of the late William and Frances (Capece) Lonardo.

After retiring, he nightly secured Twin River Casino while daily on the links- maintaining his scratch golfer status. He was a member of St. Bartholomew’s Mens Society, also an active supporter of Make-A-Wish Foundation.

Bob's pride and joy was being a loving and devoted husband, father, and grandfather. In addition to his wife, he is survived by his son, Robert Scott Lonardo; his daughter, Robin Anne Berube and her husband, Scott; a brother, William Lonardo; two sisters, Loretta Andreozzi and Elaine Iannucci; and his two cherished grandchildren, Tristan and Jaden Berube.
