Tony Garrobo Obituary
On July 10, 2022, Tony Garrobo passed from this earth to be with our heavenly
father, after many years of fighting a rare blood cancer.
He was preceded in death by his wife Evelyn, his oldest son Tony Jr., his parents,
and all his siblings.
He is survived by his sons, George (Rita), Michael (Susan), Andy (Melodie),
granddaughters Alexis (Josh) and Michaela (Reuben).
Tony will be most remembered for his time working at the school, as a janitor,
maintenance man and as a bus driver. He loved being around kids, and loved the
sports teams, particularly the baseball teams. He was most proud of being named
an honorary Benson Bobcat.
He always tinkering with things, repairing stuff, and wood carving. He had no filter,
so you never knew what would come out of his mouth. He was a fighter until the
end, having been in hospice two previous times; it was the third time that got him.
He will be greatly missed. The family of Tony Garrobo wishes to thank all those who
were involved in his care during his hospice time. Benson is a great community
where we saw how many people cared about Tony and Evelyn.
Services for Tony will be held July 19, 2022, at High Street Cemetery 11:30 am.
