ROBERT F. "ROCKY" CANTY

CANTY, Robert F. "Rocky" Age 75, of Bourne, MA, passed away peacefully, on July 24, 2025, surrounded by his loved ones and his music. Born on March 16, 1950, to James and Dorothy (Driscoll) Canty, Rocky was raised in Dedham and spent cherished summers at Hideaway Village. He graduated from Xaverian Brothers High School in 1968, traveled west, and discovered his talent as a plasterer - a trade he mastered. Rocky married the love of his life, Judi (Mutchler) Canty, and they shared in love and life until her passing in 2003. Together they survived the loss of their infant daughters, Catherine and Mary. They enjoyed living poolside in Easton but eventually made the beachfront of Hideaway Village their home. They enjoyed time on the water, cooking, traveling and surrounding the children in their lives and friends with love and laughter. Judi and Rocky could make any event or mundane day feel special. Rocky was known for his intelligence, quick wit, generosity, finding the perfect heartfelt card for any occasion, stuffed quahogs and chowder, love of music and sparkling blue eyes. A passionate fisherman and boater, he was able to fish up until the very end, thanks to his brother, Stephen. Rocky leaves behind a legacy of love, laughter and unforgettable memories. He will be dearly missed by his sister, Susan Urciuoli of Falmouth; brother, Stephen Canty and wife, Joanne (Bodio) of Buzzards Bay; and brother, Gerald Johnson and wife, Donna of Clearwater, FL. He was a beloved friend, cousin, uncle, godfather and great-uncle. To honor him, share a smile, tell a good story, cook a favorite dish, get out on the water, love with all your heart, and even when you can't recall every detail cherish and share fond memories just as Rocky did!
