Robert Lawrence Pecoraro
July 27, 1949 – March 1, 2026 | La Palma, California | Age 76
It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of Robert Lawrence Pecoraro, age 76, of La Palma, California, on March 1, 2026.
Bob had a rare and generous spirit — the kind that made everyone around him feel like family. His friends weren’t just friends; they were brothers and sisters. Every child in his life was, in his heart, one of his own. He welcomed people with open arms and held them there, and those fortunate enough to know him will carry that warmth for the rest of their lives.
He will be fondly remembered for his love of a fine glass of wine, his passion for beautiful cars, and the deep affection he had for his beloved pets.
Bob spent most of his professional life in the furniture industry, a career that took him around the world and introduced him to countless people who became lifelong friends. He had a gift for connection wherever he went.
Robert is survived by his devoted wife, his children, his brother, his father, and many beloved nieces and nephews. He was preceded in death by his mother.

What a loss. Knew Bob with CSC and he was really nice to a newcomer. We will miss him greatly.
Praying for peace and comfort to the family and Bob’s many friends. A devasting loss to all of us – Bob was one of a kind and will be greatly missed. I will never forget our travels with the corvette club to the New Mexico Balloon festival when Bob graciously drove back to our first day’s lunch stop to retrieve a very important item Jax’s had left behind. It was obvious to me “Bob” was one of a kind who adored his wife. I can just imagine the reunion Bob is having with his buddy Joe in heaven. RIP Bob!
He loved life ! It was truly a pleasure and an honor to know him. He will be missed.

Bob always had a smile and a hug for me when he saw me. I shall forever miss his laughter and enthusiasm for life. Rest in peace my friend.
Bob has a spirit that was always a joy to be around. He appreciated his life and savored precious moments every single day. The world was a better place for having him in it because he would constantly remind us to smile and love. We will never be the same because of him. He changed us all for the better and that is why he will forever be missed.
🙏💐💛

I’m so sorry to hear about this news…. I knew Bob from some furniture business we did in China.
My deepest condolences
We both said we wished we had met earlier in life. We would have raised a little Hell together. Miss you Bob.

My sincerest condolences to Bob’s family. I worked for Bob a long time ago. I learned a lot and laughed a bunch. He was a very special person. I have very fond memories of him, and I’m sadden by his passing. May he rest in peace.
