Robert Facca

December 16, 2025

Robert Facca, 76, of London, Ontario, passed away suddenly on Tuesday, December 16, 2025. He leaves behind his beloved family and all who knew and loved him.

Born on May 30, 1949, in Fumane, Veneto, Italy, Robert was a devoted and loving husband, father and Nonno, and whose life was centered around his family. He was married to the love of his life, Wendy, for 50 years. Together they built a life grounded in love, commitment, and family.

His passing leaves an immeasurable void in the lives of his wife, Wendy; his children, Rob (Nikki), Joey (Abby), and Lisa; and his five grandchildren, Louie, Oakley, Bella, Khloe, and Clara, who were the greatest joy of his life. Robert was pre-deceased by his parents, Bernardo and Maria Facca, his in-laws, Frank and Catherine MacConnell, and his brother-in-law, Frank Kuchta.  Grieving his loss are his brother, Gino Facca (Sharon – deceased), as well as his many relatives, nieces and nephews, whom he loved dearly.

He will be remembered for the way he protected, encouraged, guided, and loved his family, and for the strength, integrity, and compassion he showed every day.

Robert was also a dedicated businessman for over 50 years, proudly serving the community and surrounding areas by providing all their fastener needs. He took great pride in his work and in the relationships he built with customers and colleagues over the decades.

Robert was known as “Grandpa Bob” during his inspiring 4,000 km walk across Canada to raise awareness and funds for Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy, helping raise over one million dollars toward finding a cure. His dedication brought hope to thousands of children and families, and left a lasting legacy of compassion and generosity.

Robert was known for his kind heart, steady presence, sense of humour, generosity, and the unwavering love and support he gave to those closest to him.

Visitation will take place at Westview Funeral Home, 709 Wonderland Road North, London on Sunday, December 21, 2025 from 1:00 – 4:00 p.m. and 6:00 – 8:00 p.m.  A funeral mass will be celebrated at St Mary’s Church, 345 Lyle Street, London on Monday, December 22, 2025 at 11:00 a.m.

In lieu of flowers, a memorial donation can be made in Robert’s name to the Ronald McDonald House Southwestern Ontario.

Wendy, Rob, Joey, and Lisa, Our hearts are deeply saddened for all of you. Bob was one of those men you always felt better after seeing him. A smile, a hug, a laugh, a shared meal -- beautiful memories. When children grow up, we wish that they find a family that will love them as much as we do. Nicole found that with the Facca Family. Wendy, Bob and you welcomed her into your lives and love her as much as we do. We are forever grateful. Louie, Bella, and Clara already miss their Nonno.

Condolences to the Facca family on the loss of an incredible man. Bob’s love of family was evident from the first time I met him 30 years ago, to the last time I saw him during his walk across Canada. Our families had many wonderful memories together when Dusty and Joey played hockey together and I always loved going to the Facca house with Lisa. Sending heartfelt condolences to all of Bob’s family on the loss of such a tremendous man.

We are very sad to hear of Bob’s passing. We had hoped to see you at the funeral home on Sunday but Bob was unable to go. He has some serious health issues. We had great times when Rob and Bryan played hockey together. We always loved having Rob with us when we travelled for hockey if you were out numbered activities for Joey and Lisa. Bob was civic minded when he was trying to get the city to build a new arena in the south end. I was the president of The London Skating Club at that time and we had many good conversations over our shared interest. Bob Taylor visited you at your business many times to get parts to fix things that he could not get any other place and there was always a good conversation as well. We send you our deepest sympathy and you will be in our thoughts and prayers.

~ Linda and Bob Taylor

We are so sad to hear of Bob’s passing. We would have visited with you on Sunday but Bob is having some serious health issues and we couldn’t get there. We remember lots of good times when Rob and Bryan played hockey and always enjoyed having Rob travel with us when you were busy with Joey and Lisa. I also remember Bob’s civic minded concerns about building an arena in the south end of the city. I was at the time President of The London Skating Club. Bob always appreciated the help when he needed fasteners to fix something and also always enjoyed a visit with Bob. Bob, Bryan and I extend our deepest sympathy and you will be in our thoughts and prayers.

Condolences to Bob Facca's family (my neighbours Joey & Abby, and those seen at backyard events) from myself, my parents (Nick & Maria) and my sister (Margherita & John). We are all very sorry for your lost. He was a leader and a visionary, with a positive personality while being humble. He could see the goodness in everyone, and was able to make everyone he contacted feel good and special about themselves. He enjoyed being with people and life itself. Everybody liked him and I think everyone wanted to be like him. One of the most considerate people I've ever met. The world needs more people like him.

Being one of Bob's long time employees for the past 22 years has been the best working for him. He was not only my boss but he was my mentor, my friend and like a father to me. I have so many great memories and funny moments that I will cherish every day. I will miss his smile, talking with him each night after work, his laughter, his voice always calling me Christopher and most of all his presence. Thanks for the awesome memories. I love you Bob.

I owned CARDINAL FINE CABINETRY for 40 years just down the road from Bob's business.

Sometimes in life you come across a person who is just special, they exude kindness and you can’t be around them without smiling and Bob Facca was one of them.
