Robert Ryan Bollea Sr.

Bob and Dot were High school sweethearts in Newark, Calif. They started building a family together in 1967 with the birth of their oldest daughter Lisa. Two years later they welcomed son Robert Jr. Seven years after that the youngest son Derrick was born.

Bob spent his life taking care of and loving his family. Bob made friends easily with his outgoing, fun personality. He had a passion for bowling which he passed down to his sons and granddaughter Kendall.

Bob and Dot moved to Arizona and retired shortly after. All 3 of their children soon followed. Bob enjoyed being surrounded by his family. He loved having coffee with his group of friends every day. Bob was always the life of the party and loved making people laugh. We will all miss his political talks and football commentary.

Bob is survived by wife Dorothy Bollea, Children Lisa Lizdas (Mike) Robert Bollea Jr. (Angie) and Derrick Bollea (Nikki), Siblings Arlene Titus and Dennis Bollea, Grandchildren Michael Fagundes (Rosio), Kaylan Pettit (Chris), Parker Bollea, Ashly Bollea, Madison Bollea, Kendall Bollea, Evelyn Bollea, Ryan Bollea, & Sarah Bollea, Great grandchildren Audrey Fagundes, Ayden Fagundes, Anabell Bollea, Autumn Fagundes, Lilli Mavis, Cope Petitt, Waylon Mavis, Haleigh Petitt, and Levi Bollea.

Bob is preceded in death by his parents Lidio and Mary Bollea
