Robert D’Amore

Robert D’Amore, born in Naples, Italy on April 14, 1940, to Giuseppe and Adele (Polentini) D’Amore, passed away peacefully after a brief illness on November 25, 2023. Robert came to Kenosha, WI from Naples, Italy in 1947. He was educated in Kenosha schools, graduating from Bradford in 1958. Robert worked at American Motors from 1958-1983 and continued working for Chrysler until his retirement in 1989. He served as Kenosha’s Harbor Master for a few years and a driver for Auto Dealers Exchange for a bit before focusing on enjoying himself in retirement.

Robert is survived by his wife, Pauline (Manifold) D’Amore; children Denise (Gary) Oberst, Robert (Mary) D’Amore, and Debra (Blake) Topel; grandchildren Elizabeth (Greg) Zuver, Kari D’Amore, Christianna, D’Angelo, and Janiah Topel; great-grandchildren Abby, Ellie, and Benjamin Zuver; brothers Salvatore (Elaine) D’Amore and Mario D’Amore; and several nieces and nephews. He was preceded in death by his parents Giuseppe and Adele D’Amore and sister-in-law Jean D’Amore.

Robert spent his 35 years after retirement, of which he was very proud, engaged in many handiwork crafts, particularly woodworking:  building decorative copper sprinklers, cupolas, furniture, key racks, paper towel holders, bird houses, bird feeders, trellises, Canadian geese, and reindeer.

Funeral services will be private.
