Robert (Bob) Lembo

Robert (Bob) Lembo, 65, of Warwick, passed away peacefully at home on March 26th, alongside his devoted wife of 25 years, Darlene DiPaolo Lembo.

Born in Providence, Bob was the son of the late Michael Lembo and Maureen (Lembo) Barron, each of whom were long-time residents of Lincoln.

For many years, Bob teamed with his brother, Russell Lembo, as part of Lembo Brothers Electric Company, which has been a trusted service provider to the State of Rhode Island, commercial, and residential customers. Bob spent his early years in Pawtucket and Lincoln, growing up alongside five other Lembo siblings. After his time at Lincoln High School, Bob joined the U.S. Army and later learned the electrical industry trade.

As a devoted partner to his wife, Darlene, and her family, Bob resided for many years in Pawtucket before moving to Providence and later, Warwick. He was a long-time New England Patriots ticket holder and remained a fan of the team until the very time of his passing.

Bob fought valiantly against long-time respiratory and cardiac challenges and remained stoic throughout, spending time connecting with family and friends immediately prior to his passing.

He was a kind-hearted friend to many and a welcome member of the extended Lembo and DiPaolo families, who will mourn him forever.

In addition to Darlene, Bob leaves behind his siblings – Michael Lembo and his wife, Susan, of Lincoln; Donna Lague of Tampa, FL.; Russell Lembo and his wife, Kim, of Johnston; Gina Rubolotta and her husband, Paul, of Warwick; and Nancy Boutin and her husband, Tim, of West Harwich, Massachusetts. Bob will be dearly missed by extended members of DiPaolo family,

Bob also leaves behind the next generation of extended Lembo family members, including his nieces Faith Lembo; Kaitlyn Vander Voort, her husband Eric, and daughters Elena and Isabella Vander Voort of Warwick; and Rebecca DeFeo, her husband Anthony and son Anthony of Cranson; as well as nephew Michael Lague of Tampa.

Bob was predeceased by his loving in-laws, Paul and Doreen DiPaolo and brother-in-law, Paul DiPaolo Jr. Bob also leaves behind his sisters- and brothers-in-law Dawn and Robert White, Lori and Michael Bilodeau, and Cheri DiPaolo. Many nieces and nephews in the DiPaolo family also mourn his loss, including Jennifer Hoitt and husband Ronald; Bethany Liams and husband Thad; Brenna Bilodeau Allen and husband Sam; Morgan Bilodeau and partner Corey Ames; Lisa Shirinian and partner Matt Parker; SydneyShirinian; Haileigh DiPaolo Gomes and husband Lewis; and Michael Paul Bilodeau Jr.

Bob’s great nieces and nephews include Joshua Hoitt, Samantha Hoitt, Shawn Hoitt, Abigail Iiams, and Myles Parker. All loved Bob and will miss him very much.

Bob had a compassionate heart and shared a loving relationship with his wife Darlene for decades, in homes filled with family felines, laughter, good times, and delicious home cooking. In addition to enjoying summer beach days with Darlene, Bob was a voracious reader.
