Robert Mesheau

Monson-Robert Mesheau, 94, born on March 22, 1931, in Norwell, MA, passed away peacefully on September 17, 2025, in Wilbraham, MA. He devoted over 30 years of his career to General Motors, notably serving as the service manager at Walker Motor Sales and Gene Mota's in Palmer before retiring from Butler Corporation in Ludlow.

Bob was known for his generous spirit and believed that the greatest gift he could give was helping others. His commitment to others marked his personal and professional life. He cherished the time spent traveling with his beloved wife, Shirley M. (Allen) Mesheau, over their remarkable 72 years of marriage. Together, they created many memories exploring different parts of the world, from England and Hawaii to Europe and various locations across the country, including trips to award ceremonies with General Motors.

Bob lived in Monson for many years before he retired and moved to Canada for over 30yrs, most recently returning to Monson to be closer with family.

After retirement, Bob took up carpentry, a passion that allowed him to craft beautiful keepsakes for his grandchildren and great-grandchildren. His handiwork will be treasured by them for years to come.

Bob is survived by his loving wife, Shirley; his son, Michael Mesheau, and daughter-in-law, Roseann, of Monson; grandchildren, Katherine Pariseau, Laura Aldrich, and Andrew Mesheau; and great-grandchildren, Braeden Pariseau, Shamus Pariseau, and Ava Aldrich. He is also survived by his sister, Marie Colpitts, and many loving nieces, nephews, extended family members, and special friends, including Judy and Glen Williams and Robert and Tina Moriarty.

He was preceded in death by his parents, Robert and Beulah Mesheau, along with siblings Dorothy Mesheau, Barbara Kitchen, William Mesheau, Ruth Jackson, Mae Steeves, Shirley Cudmore, and June Morrissey. Bob will be remembered for his kindness, love, and the lasting impact he had on all who knew him.
