Robert "Bob" Godbout passed away on August 19, 2023, at the age of 89. One of thirteen children, Bob was born and raised in Chicago, Illinois. He met his wife, Lottie, and together they had one daughter, Darlene. They resided in the suburb of Calumet City, IL. Bob spent his professional career working for the family business and at Sterk’s grocery store. In 2020, Bob and Lottie moved to Surprise, AZ to enjoy the warmer weather.
Bob was a kind person who loved to tease, joke, and make people laugh. He was a hard worker and always ready to lend a hand to others. Bob took great pride in his grandchildren--he and Lottie regularly attended their sporting and extracurricular events. He was an active member of his church and served as an usher for 40 years. In his free time, he enjoyed playing card games and calling Bingo.
Bob was preceded in death by his wife of 62 years, Lottie. He is survived by his daughter, Darlene (Mike) Johnson; his grandchildren, Andrea and Brian Johnson; and his brothers, Ronald (Annette) Godbout, and William (Marilyn) Godbout.
The family would like to sincerely thank the staff at Fellowship Square (Surprise, AZ) and Hospice of the West for their care and compassion. They are deeply grateful for their kindness and support. Those wishing to honor Bob are welcome to make a donation to either of these organizations.
