Robert T. Pacheco, age 74, passed away unexpectedly on October 15, 2024. Born on December 3, 1949, in Butte, Montana, Robert was the beloved son of the late Joseph J. Pacheco and Mary C. (Kelly) Pacheco. Bob was predeceased by his brother, James and is survived by his sister Margaret ‘Peg” Pacheco of Greenville, RI.
As the son of two veterans, Robert proudly served his country as a member of the United States Army during the Vietnam War, obtaining the rank of First Lieutenant, honorably representing his family and his country. He was a 1967 graduate of La Salle Academy and attended the University of Washington in Seattle after returning from his active duty in Vietnam.
Bob was also a voracious reader having completed various speed-reading courses. His love of books was beyond compare, as was his interest in new and upcoming authors. He also was a very dedicated sports fan, especially hockey, but any sport at any level was interesting to him.
As Bob was a very charitable man, donations in his honor may be sent to Operation Stand Down, 1010 Harford Avenue, Johnston, RI 02919.
A committal service will be held at the Rhode Island Veterans Cemetery with Military Honors on November 29, 2024, at 1:00 PM
