Roberto Natale Obituary (1943 - 2024) - Attleboro, Massachusetts

Roberto Natale, 81, of Attleboro, MA passed away peacefully on July 9th at his home. Known by all as Bobby, he was born on June 18, 1943 in Caserta, Italy to Maria (Della Valle) and Costantino Natale. After immigrating to the United States in the late 1960’s, Bobby lived for many years in Florida before moving to Attleboro in 2012. With little formal education but an innate business sense, Bobby came to the United States with an uncompromising work ethic and entrepreneurial spirit. He built and owned several successful automotive businesses over the years, for which he was tremendously proud. Through his many personal and professional successes, he shared endlessly with his family and friends. He never turned anyone away; he asked for nothing in return. He loved his family and his friends beyond measure. Known for his fully stocked kitchen at all times, “bobby burgers” and “fish sauce”, Bobby loved to cook and was happiest when preparing dishes that his family loved, always in abundance. He lived a vibrant life, filled with travel and adventure and was a brilliant story teller. He confronted life's challenges with positivity and grace and always took joy in simple things- he loved nature and animals, especially dogs. He gave the best advice and the warmest hugs. To simply know Bobby was a gift- to be loved by him was life altering. He was kind, funny, accepting and overwhelmingly generous. He loved effortlessly and unconditionally. The world was a happier place because he was in it and he will be forever missed. Bobby spent the last years of his life with an always beaming smile, surrounded by his loving family and lifelong friends and companions. While his death came much too soon, his loved ones are comforted knowing he is reunited in Heaven with his mother and his brother Domenic- two people he loved and missed every single day.
