Robert Alan Gottlieb
1949 - 2025
Bob Gottlieb, of Guilford, passed away on December 18 after a year-long battle with pancreatic cancer. He was 75.
Gottlieb was born in New Haven on December 22, 1949. He grew up in Milford in a loving household with his sister, parents and maternal grandparents. He graduated from Southern Connecticut State College and was heavily involved in protest movements against the Vietnam War and nuclear power.
After getting his start in radio during his college days, he served as a host, producer and news director at station WPKN for nearly two decades.
He worked for over 30 years as a copy editor for The Connecticut Post before retiring in 2018. A stickler for accuracy both on and off the clock, he had an eagle eye for mistakes, errors and inconsistencies of all kinds.
He was an extraordinarily devoted husband and dad. Having lost his own father at an early age, he was determined to always be there for his children.
He had a wry sense of humor, never failing to crack a joke and charm those around him. He held an extensive knowledge and deep love of jazz, folk music, film, television and radio. He was a champion of progressive politics and quality journalism.
He is predeceased by his parents Arthur and Ruth Gottlieb. He is survived by his wife Gail Feld, sister Judy Gottlieb (Rod Ross), children Amy (Lev Goltseker) and Andy Gottlieb, and grandchildren Avi and Aya Goltseker.
