Robert E Don
Robert “Bob” Don, beloved husband, father, grandfather, uncle, skipper, and cherished friend to many, passed away peacefully surrounded by family on October 20, 2025. Born in Chicago on February 17, 1936, to Esther and Sam Don, Bob lived a life full of antics, adventure, and accomplishment.
He is survived by his loving and infinitely patient wife, Charlotte; his children, Abbe Don and Steven (Amy) Don; his grandchildren, Payton and Harper Don; his sister-in-law and brother-in-law, Marilyn and Rick Kaye; and his granddog, Louis. He was preceded in death by his parents and by his son, Adam David Don.
Bob’s final years were made more comfortable by the devoted care of Luther Abrogueno, who led an extraordinary “A-team” of caregivers — including James Sojor and Peter Nalzaro — who provided him with compassion, humor, and dignity.
