Robert Lesslie Obituary

Robert "Bob" Lesslie, 70, passed away July 21, 2023. Bob retired from Wentworth Institute of Technology after a fulfilling and dedicated career. Bob was a respected life member of the South Boston Yacht Club, where many of his life-long friendships were formed. His 53 years there are a testament to his dedication and passion for the club's community and activities. He served for decades as Chairman of the Regatta Committee and directed the racing program, primarily for the 210 Class sailboat. His contributions and leadership leave a lasting legacy on the club's history and future. Bob will be greatly missed by his family, fellow club members, and the sailing community. He is survived by his siblings Karen Schmidt, Michael G., Paul J. and Susan M. Lesslie.
