Robert BONNEY Sr.

BONNEY SR. - Robert
Bob was deeply loved by his family, his friends, and his community. Every weekend was devoted to his wife and children for camping, picnicking, road trips, visiting friends, track meets and coaching his sons' baseball games. He was president of Bradley Gardens little league and a Scout leader. He accomplished much in his life, which began in the small town of Mexico, Maine. Bob had the high school basketball scoring record for the state of Maine, a record that lasted for several decades. He got his PhD in biochemistry from the University of Buffalo while doing research at Roswell Park. He contributed to the development of several important medical treatments as a research scientist and was Vice President of Dermatology Research at Bristol Myers Squibb. He gave many, many hours freely to his neighborhood association, the rotary, and the conservation club. Bob and his wife Judy were beloved babysitters for each of their grandchildren. He was an avid golfer who played right up to the end of his life. Bob was the loving husband of Judith (Perry) Bonney for 60 years and loving father to three sons, Robert, Mark and David. He loved his son-in-law James Mulloy, daughter-in-law Karla (Martinez) Bonney, and doted on his three grandchildren, Liam, Mya and Quinn and great-grandson, Beau. He was much loved by his brother Richard (Vickie) of Frye, Maine and Marie DeSeve (Gerald) of Sun City, Arizona. He was predeceased by his father, Samuel Bonney, and mother, Lorraine Bonney. His sisters-in-law, brothers-in-law, nieces and nephews loved him and shared wonderful Christmases and summer weeks at Hermit Island on the coast of Maine. A celebration of Bob's life will be held in the spring.
