Print This Obituary & CondolencesRobert Edward Vazzi passed away unexpectedly at his residence in Savannah, Georgia on December 14,
2023. He was 65.
Bob was born in Staunton, Illinois on July 29, 1958. He is survived by his brothers Frank Vazzi (Sheryl) of
Staunton, Jim Vazzi (Jan) of Hillsboro, sister-in-law Rhonda Vazzi of Staunton, and sister Lisa (Derek
Steinmeyer) of Celina, Texas, and numerous nieces and nephews. He was preceded in death by his
parents, Frank and Elizabeth (Straub) Vazzi, and brothers Donald and JD.
Originally from Worden, Illinois, Bob took his studies seriously and graduated from Worden High School
in 1976 at the age of 16. He went on to SIU-Edwardsville at a young age to complete his Bachelor’s
degree. Bob was also elected to the Worden School Board, and was the youngest member to serve on
the board.
During his career, Bob earned a Master’s Degree in Industrial Hygiene. Over the years, he worked for
Clark Oil and Shell Oil Company in Wood River, Illinois, St. Louis County Department of Health and
eventually OSHA. His career with OSHA took him from Belleville, Illinois to Milwaukee, Wisconsin, on to
Mobile, Alabama and eventually Savannah, Georgia before retiring as Area Director in December 2020.
Shortly after 9/11, Bob volunteered to travel to New York City to assist with fit-testing the workers at
Ground Zero to help protect them from the toxic gases.
He loved to travel, take care of his yard and plants, and cook. He was ‘famous’ for his extraordinary
cheesecakes and was even featured in a story in the St. Louis Post Dispatch years ago.
His pride and joy were his Westie dogs, Callie and Clyde.
Bob loved to spoil his many nieces and nephews, and in the early years, his “little sister”, taking her on
vacations to places like San Francisco, Biloxi and the Bahamas. Bob especially loved to host family and
friends at his beautiful home in Savannah, serving as chef and tour guide and treating each guest with
such care and hospitality to make every visit enjoyable and memorable.
A Celebration of Life for Bob will be held Saturday, April 6 th , from 12-2 at the American Legion in
Worden, Illinois. Memorials are suggested to the American Legion in Worden, and the Worden Fire
Department.

Print This Obituary & CondolencesWalter C Battisti, 70, of Savannah, GA, passed away on December 15th, 2023 after a battle with a brief illness.
Walter was born on October 23rd, 1953 to Saturno and Angela Battisti in San Juan, PR. He joined the US Army in 1973 where he worked as a CH-47 Mechanic. Walter had an extensive and successful military career. He was incredibly proud of being in the 160th Special Operations Aviation Regiment, which made a significant impact on his life. He carried this achievement with pride until his final days. Walter retired from the military in 1997. His love for aviation inspired him to become a contractor for the 224th Military Intelligence Battalion. Adopting the name Waldo, he went on many deployments and met many friends during his time spent there. In his personal life, Walter was a man of few words. Although he was a quiet man, you could always see when he was deep in thought. Whenever something needed to be said, he always made his loved ones laugh with his quick wit.
Behind that sometimes old grumpy man persona, he had the biggest heart. Walter was a big animal lover as he leaves behind his three dogs Sophie, Lulu, and Abby. Walter also seemed to be a turtle magnet as he would rescue any turtle he found. He was a very doting grandfather who loved his grandson, Anthony, and would get excited with the smallest things he would do.
Walter will be deeply missed by his family, friends, and pets. He is predeceased by his parents and his son, Kenneth. He is survived by his wife, Nilsa Battisti, his two daughters, Angela Battisti, Barbara Battisti Bell, son in law Richard Bell, and his grandson, Anthony Bell.
All family and friends are welcome to attend his service on January 6th, 2024, at 1:00p, at Forest Lawns Memory Garden in Savannah, GA.
