Robert L. Tedeschi
August 21, 1918 — November 28, 2006
Robert L. Tedeschi, 88, of Greenwich, passed away on the morning of November 28, 2006 after a long and courageous battle with heart disease. Born in Utica, NY in 1918, he was the last survivor of nine children, born to the late Sante and Anna Castellano Tedeschi.
Prior to moving to Greenwich, Bob was a long time resident of Stamford and graduated from Stamford public schools. He was a Tech Sergeant with the US Marine Corp during WWII, serving as a parachute rigger. Following the war, he worked many years as a menswear buyer for Sarners Department Store. He retired from the Fidelity Trust Company.
Since Bob never married, throughout his long life, he provided loving care and support for his brothers, sisters, nieces and nephews. He was happiest gardening and working in his yard.
