Robert Warwick Obituary

Robert A. Warwick

Middletown - Robert A. Warwick, 75, of Middletown NJ, passed away July 20, 2020 surrounded by those who loved him most.

Bob was preceded in death by his parents, his brother Kenneth Warwick Jr., and his sister Barbara Patterson. Left behind to grieve are his wife Beverly; son Ronald Warwick and wife Mary; his daughter Kimberly Rajner and husband Brandon; daughter Lauren Warwick and fiance Desmond Dahill; and his granddaughters Emily and Olivia Rajner. He also leaves behind two faithful companions, Jaxx and Gilly.

Bob was very active in the dog community. He and his black lab, Rudy, were a dynamic duo at frisbee events and traveled to many competitions and charity events throughout the Northeast. Together they visited nursing homes, supported animal rescues, performed at local schools, and even received nationwide attention on NBC's Weekend Today In New York show. When Rudy was no longer able to perform, Bob partnered with Rudy's son, Tyronne. It brings comfort to know that Bob has been reunited with his four-legged friends and is once again throwing frisbees.

Bob will be remembered for his fun spirit, his quick wit that was sure to bring a laugh, and his loving nature which embraced not only family and friends but any dog in his care as well.

Service is private and a memorial service will be held at a later date to celebrate his life. In lieu of flowers, the family asks for donations to Brookline Labrador Retriever Rescue (https://brooklinelabrescue.org/get-involved/donate/).

To Bob's family, I am so sorry for your loss.
I was blessed to work with Bob daily for several years, (although we only got to meet in person a handful of times) and considered him my friend. I loved talking football with him...especially when Rutgers joined the Big 10 and played my Buckeyes. My kids referred to him as fast texting Bob because we would go back and forth on many Saturdays, and he would send me several texts before I could compose even one response.
He was a wonderful human being.
My thoughts and prayers are with you all. God bless.

Bob was a great and honorable man to work with. After our careers took different paths, we remained friends through our dogs. Great pictures and laughs. He will truly be missed.

So sorry to hear about your loss. A lot of people will miss Bob. I’ve missed all the football games. We were like the post man. Neither rain or snow will stop us from going to the football games. And all the dog competitions. I’m sure Bob is in heaven organizing dog competition for all the faithful dogs. A good friend to all.

Bob will be missed by all who had the opportunity to make his acquaintance. He was polite and cheerful with all he met and was good at telling jokes and had a quick wit. Definitely he fit the definition of a gentleman. Sincere condolences to his family.

Bob and I were classmates and we both graduated from Matawan Regional High School in 1963. Our adult lives took us in different directions and we didn't meet up again until 50 years had passed, at our 50th High School Reunion. Bob and I slowly reconnected, until he was part of my daily live again. Bob became part of my group of friends at the Matawan Starbucks, and he was a perfect addition to our group with his wit, humor and interests. We had weekly coffee get togethers at Bell Works, saw each other at our monthly luncheons with other classmates, and lately had our weekly group Zoom sessions. He was a perfect fit in my group, and my friends became his friends. He will be missed by not only myself but also by all of his new friends. We had some very sad moments today on our first Zoom call without Bob. Rest in peace my good friend, I know we are all mortal and this is inevitable for all of us.

I met Bob via my photographic website just over three years ago, and we quickly became pen pals and then good friends. And although we never met in person, (I am over the pond) - I feel blessed, enriched and extremely honoured to have been part of his life, albeit in a small way. I will always carry Bob in my heart, I will never forget him - and will look back fondly at the funny times we had. You brought me out of my shell Bob, thanks for that. Molly, Max and Milo say hi.

Bob, you were a very dear friend to me. I will sorely miss you and cherish the good times and memories for the rest of my life. You had a playful sense of humor and enjoyed making people laugh. Memories of you laughing so heartily that you had to remove your glasses to wipe your eyes are priceless. What a great laugh, too. I loved those moments.
You touched many, and made the world a better, brighter place.

My condolences to Bev, Ron, Kim, Lauren and the rest of the family.

Bob and I went to Matawan Regional High School. He was the president of our senior class. I met Bob a few years back at Red Bank Volvo. He was looking for a car for his wife Bev and I was purchasing a car. Just by chance I asked him about a class reunion. Next I was on the committee to help to plan our 50th year reunion. Bob was in charge. My deepest condolences to Bev and Bob's family. A life well lived and taken to soon. Lillian Haskins Scott classmate

Went to Matawan Regional High School with Bob. We played on the high school basketball team together. We recently made contact and lunched with some old high school buddies. We also attended some recent Huskie basketball games. Bob was one of the nice guys. I will miss he at our luncheons.

When Bob and I met we knew we would be come friends we became best of friends.
Working together riding our dirt bikes together just enjoying each other's company. Bob also was my best man. Our wives became best friends also. Eventually our career paths led us in different directions, but we met occasionally laughing and talking about the good old days. Later in life the four of us would get together to have dinner. Our table was always full of life and laughter. I shall miss him terribly.
