Robert Bravi Obituary

Bravi, Robert A. 63, loving husband of Cristina; devoted father of Melissa (Jeff) Garretson, Lori, Ryan, and Daniel; cherished Grandpa to Reilly, was peacefully surrounded by his family on April 17, 2013. "Bravi" developed lifelong friendships as a beloved Brother at both the Shorewood Congregation and the CTA, where he retired from as a GM after 33 years. His passion for the White Sox, Blackhawks, and, yes, even the Packers, was unbreakable. He took every chance he had to be at every event his kids took part in. Golfing, fast cars, cross country road trips with the top down down, live music, a good combo sandwich, and pure relaxation were the things he enjoyed most. He will be missed dearly. Visitation at McCullough Funeral Home (851 E. 75th St, Chicago), April 19, 2013, 2-8pm. Memorial Service at Kingdom Hall of Jehovah's Witnesses (2325 Theodore, Crest Hill), April 20, 2013, 2pm.

Bravi will truly be missed. Although I hadn't seen him in quite a while. I'll always remember him giving me encouraging words and standing by my side working and saying "that's right, keep up the good work". He was a hands on person and had a great personality. Family stay blessed and we will continue to pray for your strength. God Bless..
