Robert "Bob" Stafford Whitmore, age 84, of Rochester, NY, passed away unexpectedly at his home on December 29th, 2022. Bob was born on February 9th, 1938 to Dr. O. Stafford and Eleanor Whitmore in Bath, NY. After attending Andover Academy he went on to graduate from Princeton University. Bob met his wife, MaryAnn (DeWaters) at Keuka Lake, dated through college and married upon graduation. After carving out a career in corporate insurance, they eventually settled down in Rochester, NY where Bob owned and operated his own insurance agency.
He is survived by his wife, MaryAnn and daughters, Anne (John) Hawk, Lara (Lee) Matricaria, and Kate Whitmore as well as four grandchildren, John, Matthew, Katie and Caroline. Bob will be remembered for his quick wit, love of sports, life on Keuka Lake and "toddy time" with friends.
A Celebration of Life will be held for family and friends at noon on Saturday, January 14th, 2023 at the Chatterbox Club, 25 Goodman Street in Rochester. The family requests those who wish to express sympathy to consider making a donation to their favorite charity.

BOB was outrageously funny and we will miss him so! Many good times were had over the years: "toddy time", Puppy dog on his lap (who loved him so), a good tennis game, boating on Keuka Lake.....
and, best of all, fun with his many friends.
Love and hugs to 'Mary' and the girls.
