A draftsman by trade, Bobby lived a full life and loved being outdoors. He created wonderful childhood memories with his family and would reminisce about the adventures they had at their family’s home. Throughout his life, Bobby’s favorite moments were spent with friends and family, traveling, going to the beach, taking endless walks, casino trips (even if they “took his money”) and indulging in an occasional “nipper” (Manhattan). Bobby also had a passion for flying - he had his pilot’s license and logged endless hours in the sky. Bobby was an avid tennis player and the court was his second home until the young age of 90.

He was predeceased by his parents, Sylvester and Alma, and brothers, Harry and John.Bobby will be warmly remembered in so many ways, and was an endless source of happiness and positive energy (always with a great joke on tap). While Bobby may no longer be with us, he left behind countless cherished memories, moments, and traditions for us to treasure forever.
