This memorial website was created in memory of our loved one.
Roberto Medina Jr., 56, followed his parents to heaven on December 2, 2015. He was born in Ponce, PR on November 19, 1959 to the late Roberto Medina and Felicita Planas.
Roberto enjoyed life and lived to help his parents. He had spent many good times fishing with them. Every year he looked forward to putting up the Christmas lights and was excited to have family gatherings with all those he loved. Roberto wanted to help keep things nice for his family and neighbors by landscaping and repairing things that might make someone else's life easier. He also had fun playing cards and dominos. Loved his dogs, Alex and Chippie.
Roberto adored his children and is survived by, Emely Medina, Delma Medina, Roberto Medina Jr., all of Tampa and Aaron Barkasy of Wolcott, his sisters, Maritza Rivera of Bristol, Elizabeth Morales and Felicita Medina of Waterbury, eight grandchildren and many nieces and nephews. In recent years he had a tremendous loss and heartache when his parents passed, now they are all together again.
A celebration of his life will be on Tuesday, December 22, at 10am at Christ Church, 16 Townline Rd. Wolcott, CT. Burial will follow in All Saints Cemetery in Waterbury. A. Cassidy's Cremation Service has care of the arrangements.
We will forever miss him.
Tributes
Leave a tributeDon’t grieve for me, for now I’m free;
I took His hand when I heard Him call;
I turned my back and left it all.
If my parting has left a void;
then fill it with remembered joy.
My life’s been full, I savored much;
good friends, good times,
a loved one’s touch.
A friendship shared, a laugh, a kiss;
ah yes, these things, I too, will miss.
Perhaps my time seemed all too brief;
don’t lengthen it now with undue grief.
Lift up your hearts and share with me;
God wanted me now, He set me free.
