Robert “Bob” Anthony Regalado, 70, of Manitou Beach, passed away at home with his loving family by his side on Sunday, March 9, 2025.
Born on January 28, 1955, in Adrian, Michigan, Bob was the son of Eliseo “Joe” S. and Elizabeth L. (Brill) Regalado. He married Cindy S. Pace in 1977, and on September 12, 1987, he remarried Cynthia L. Goldsmith in Wauseon, Ohio. Together, they built a life filled with love, family, and countless cherished memories
In his early years, Bob worked for several construction and excavation companies before joining the Lenawee County Road Commission. He later devoted his career as a heavy equipment operator to Local 324, working for Bales Trucking in Adrian and Higgins Excavating in Ann Arbor until his retirement in 2010.
Bob was passionate about restoring classic Mopars, often spending countless hours tinkering in his garage. He also found joy in riding his Harley, snowmobiling, and fishing. But more than anything, he treasured the time spent with family and friends, especially creating lasting memories at the cabin up north.
Bob is survived by his loving wife, Cindy; their three daughters, Jamie (Gregory) Zaroslinski of Waddell, AZ, Kayla Regalado of St. Petersburg, FL, and Kristl (Bryant) Bradley of Cement City, MI; and three cherished grandchildren, Sydney and Blake Zaroslinski and Kane Bradley. He is also survived by his mother, Elizabeth Regalado; his brother, Alan “Dino” (Rhonda) Regalado; his sister, Josie Willett; two nephews, Kelly Thompson and Jacob Regalado; and two great-nephews, Tyler Thompson and Eli Regalado. Additionally, he is survived by his sister- and brother-in-law, Sue (Clif) Weber, Beth Mortimer, and Jo (Tom) Gleckler, along with many nieces and nephews. Bob was preceded in death by his father, Eliseo “Joe” Regalado.
