Robert J. Borelli, 31, of Woburn

WOBURN, MA — Robert James Borelli passed away on Aug. 7. He was thirty-one years old.

Robby was born and raised in Woburn and attended Woburn Public Schools. He was employed by Reliable Fence Company in Woburn for the last 8 years and had previously worked for Barrucci Hot Top and Barrucci Landscaping. Robby loved working outdoors and took great pride in his work.

Hockey was a big passion throughout his childhood and teenage years. He had many wonderful times with his teammates and Woburn Youth Hockey. He enjoyed fishing, going to motocross races with his brother and friends, listening to music and having a good time. One of his favorite places to be was at the outer cape in Eastham, Massachusetts, where he vacationed at the Lund's farmhouse for the last 30 years with his parents, brother and sister, and extended family.

His parents took him on many "yearly tradition trips" such as Disney World in Orlando, the Lobster Festival in Rockland, ME, York Beach, ME picnic, camping adventures, boating, and traveling in his young life through Europe with his mom. Wherever he went and whatever he did, he brought joy to those around him with his laughter and smile. His two cats, Orka and Ziggy, were very special to him, and his little bubs who predeceased him.

Sadly, Robby is predeceased by his grandparents, Barbara McGovern, Philip Giglio and Helen and Victor Borelli as well as his uncles, Kenneth Borelli and Sydney Saunders. He is lovingly survived by his parents, Robert R. and Theresa L.(Giglio) Borelli of Woburn; his siblings, Jenni Borelli and Ross B. Borelli and his long time companion Emily Blaszyk, both of Woburn; his aunts and uncles, Pamela Saunders, Mr. and Mrs. Philip Giglio, Rita Reale and her husband Louie of Las Vegas, Victor Borelli and his wife Kathy of AZ, and Helen Borelli of NH.

A Funeral will be held in the Lynch-Cantillon Funeral Home, 263 Main St. in Woburn on Saturday morning at 11 a.m. Relatives and friends are respectfully invited to calling hours Friday evening, Aug. 12, from 4-8 p.m. Remembrances may be made in Robert's memory to the Friends of Woburn Veterans, 144 School Street, Woburn, MA 01801.
