Obituary of Robert Latour

.Robert Latour (Bob) age 66, of Dudley died Thursday, April 10, 2025 at UMass Memorial HealthCare in Worcester, MA. Robert was born October 25, 1958 in Webster, MA. He is the son of the late Raymond and Betty (Balta) Latour and has lived in Dudley his entire life.

He retired in 2021 from Local 4 as a Heavy Equipment Operator and took immense pride in his work, a career that suited his hands-on nature and strong work ethic. Outside of work, Bob was happiest in the great outdoors —with a fishing pole in hand or deep in the woods hunting. He had a deep appreciation for nature and shared that love with his family and friends every chance he got. In his younger years, he lived life wide open — riding and racing motorcycles with a fearless spirit. When his children were young, Bob dedicated his time to coaching soccer, always encouraging sportsmanship, teamwork, and having fun. Later in life, his greatest joy came from being with his grandchildren. Their laughter and energy lit up his world, and he cherished every moment spent with them. He lived life to the fullest — with a big heart, a strong spirit, and a smile that could light up a room.
