Obituary
Robert ?Bob? Zaragoza Fernandez, 49, passed away unexpectedly on Thursday, July 1, 2004 in Laguna Hills, California. Bob was born in Manila, Philippines and moved to the United States with his family in 1969. He was a 1973 graduate of Dover High School in Dover, Delaware and earned his BS degree in Electrical Engineering from the University of Dayton in Ohio in 1980. Most recently, he was a Senior Engineer at Honeywell Aerospace Electronic System Division.
He is survived by his wife, Mildred de Guzman, daughter Merissa, 10 years old, and his sons Ryan, 9 and Jourden, 18. He is also survived by his parents, Pete and Nelly Fernandez, of Dover, Delaware, brothers, Edgar of Salisbury, Maryland and Rick of Nice, France and sister Vicky Yaholkovsky of Rocklin, California.
Bob was an avid music fan – in particular jazz – and most specially enjoyed playing the piano. He loved everything about food: from cooking, to indulging in the pleasures of the table, and, to rhapsodizing about it. A travel enthusiast, Bob collected arts and crafts from around the globe, and had just recently returned from a 3-week holiday with his family in France and Italy.
Bob was a loving father, a devoted husband, a loyal, committed and caring brother and uncle, and a wonderful son. He will be missed greatly by those whom he has touched.

Dear Mildred,
I am so sorry to hear from Jerry of your husband’s sudden departure. My condolences go to you and your family. Words are sometimes inadequate to comfort someone at this time but I hope you will find the strength among friends to go through this difficult period.

I saw Bob on his last visit to Phoenix and I will remember our conversation for a long time to come. Bob was one of the special people who took pride and responsibility in his job and always strived to go a step above. He will be sorely missed. My deepest sympathy to Mildred, the children, and Bob’s parents, as well as his extended famly and friends.
Sincerely,
Kathy Sommer
