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.

Deeply saddened to hear of Bob’s passing. I have so many fond memories from my childhood of Bob. Sincere condolences to his family.
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. I bought from him those little somethings that you couldn't get anywhere else and I always looked forward to going in that door and seeing all that merchandise and most times getting a chance to talk to Bob. He was an incredible individual and will be missed. I send deep and most sincere condolences to his wife and family.

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. On the charity walk he would tell us all about Wendy, his children and grandchildren with such pride. This world was a better place because he was in it and he will truly be missed.
I just found out about Bob's passing and it made me very sad. I have gotten to know Bob from our time on the STAFDA board and he became someone I really cared for. He was a down to earth man who had a great way of bringing our board conversations back to what rrally mattered. He will be greatly missed by all who knew him. My thoughts and prayers are with Wendy and the whole family.
To the whole Facca and McConnel families, we send our sincerest condolences. I can remember often Deb talking about the wonderful man Bob was. May the stories being told in the coming days, give you all some comfort, and turn grief to celebration of a wonderful life of a very special man. Hugs to you all.
