It is with profound sadness that we announce the sudden passing of Baldassare (Bob) Rabbito on October 30, 2024, at his vacation home in Las Vegas, Nevada at the age of 78. Bob was born on January 1, 1946, to the late Giovanni and Francesa Rabbito (nee Gandolfo) in his cherished hometown of Salemi, Sicily. In 1958, he immigrated with his family to Toronto, Ontario where he eventually met and married his beloved wife Erlinda (Linda) (nee Alcantara).

Bob was a devoted father to Francine Buchanan (Jared) and Melissa Lujan (Michael), and always a doting grandfather to Cristiano, Miguel, and Maribel. He is predeceased by his brother Leonardo (Patricia) and grandson Sebastian Buchanan. He is lovingly remembered by his brother Vito (Amalia) and his close extended family.

A long-time Mississauga businessman, Bob's unwavering passion has been dedicated to serving his loyal customers as the proud owner of Trutone Electronics over the past 40 years. Bob will be lovingly remembered by numerous friends, family, colleagues, and customers. His kind nature, impeccable character, and integrity have left an indelible mark on all who knew him.

In remembrance of Bob, donations are welcome to the SickKids Foundation, Heart and Stroke Foundation, or The Darling Home for Kids, all charities that were close to his heart.
