With heavy hearts we announce the passing of our beloved husband, father, and grandfather. Robert R. Bregy, 78, passed away peacefully on February 21, 2018. He was born in Chicago and lived in Mt. Prospect, IL for the past 54 years. He was preceded in death by his beloved wife, Joyce Bregy (nee McCartney), his son, Robert Jr., father Rudy Bregy, mother Constance Bregy (nee Leatch), and step-mother Margaret Bregy. Robert is survived by his three children Donna, Michael and Karen, his son-in-law Ken Zagroba and granddaughters Ashley and Alyssa.
From the time his own children were born, Bob’s entire world revolved around his family. Bob owned and operated Bregy Cleaners in Chicago, a successful business, for over 30 years. Bob worked high stress and long hours to ensure his children had a loving home with access to outstanding education opportunities and experiences. Bob also enjoyed his job at District 211 and enjoyed the friendship of his colleagues. Perhaps his greatest joy in life was his active involvement with his granddaughters. He absolutely loved spending time with them and was their number one fan, attending every volleyball game that he could. Undoubtedly these moments were the very best times of his life as he was a very proud father and grandfather!
A visitation will be held to honor his legacy from 10:00 a.m. until a prayer service that begins at 12 noon on Saturday, February 24th at Friedrichs Funeral Home, 320 West Central Road (at Northwest Highway), Mt. Prospect IL.
