Northborough – Robert T. Aldorisio, 77 of Northborough, formerly of Braintree, passed away peacefully Sunday, Sept. 24, 2017 at Tufts Medical Center, surrounded by his loving family.
Robert was born in Malden, a son of the late Vincent Alfred and Rose Marie (Tomasi) Aldorisio. He grew up in Braintree and was a graduate of Braintree High School where he excelled in his studies as well as on the football team. Robert later received his bachelor’s degree in business from Northeastern University, and was also involved in the college’s ROTC program. He enlisted in the United States Army serving his country proudly in the Vietnam War as a 1st Lieutenant. Robert worked in the human resources department for various companies including Digital for 17 years. He met the love of his life, Irene, in high school, and married her in 1967. They moved to Northborough in 1974 where they had resided for the past 43 years.
Robert was a faithful member of St. Rose of Lima Church, the Northborough Lions Club and a past member of the Leominster Chapter. Robert enjoyed physical fitness especially hand ball and running. He was a lover of music and dancing, and was very involved in helping with his daughter’s dance studio, Laurene Aldorisio’s Academy of Dance Expressions in Westborough. Robert enjoyed times spent on the shores of Cape Cod with family and friends, but most of all his greatest passion was his family and spending all of his time with them. His family will remember that Robert “loved life, and lived it to the fullest.”
