Robert Gregoire Obituary
Robert (Bob) Gregoire passed away peacefully on July 16, 2024 at Cypress Cove Nursing Home in Crystal River, FL, after a life filled with love, family, friends, many hands of poker and numerous holes of golf! He loved the game of golf and was often known to play 18 holes four times a week.
He was born on November 28,1938 to Wilfred Gregoire and Bella (Lapierre) Gregoire and grew up in Westbrook, ME. He served in the United States Navy for four years directly out of high school, and was employed by Saunders Brothers in Westbrook, ME as an Operations Plant Manager for 42 years where he had an impeccable work ethic.
There was nothing Bob couldn't do. He was a handyman and a helper to everyone. He was always ready to swing a hammer, pound a nail or tackle any household project for family friends and neighbors alike. Acts of Service was his love language.
He was married to his high school sweetheart Roberta (Bobbi) Gregoire for 58-wonderful years and was predeceased by her in May 2016. They enjoyed traveling and explored many beautiful places including Australia, England/Scotland, Hawaii, and Alaska. A particular favorite of their adventures included a 6-week motorcycle trip around the country. They also visited many national parks.
Bob leaves behind his partner of eight years, Frances Geyer whom he enjoyed traveling with as well. Between his travels with Bobbi and Fran he visited 23 national parks and collected charms for each one. He leaves behind his son Stephen Gregoire of Standish, ME and grandchildren Derrick Gregoire, Deanna Gregoire, and Robert Gregoire. His son James Gregoire of Gorham, ME and grandson Dustin Gregoire. And his daughter Elizabeth Stiles and her husband Stephen Stiles of Standish and grandchildren Stephanie Brockman and Jarred Stiles and his wife Christine. He leaves behind his great-grandchildren Cassidy Prescott, Addison Cloyd, Luka Gregoire, Lillian and Levi Brockman, Juliette and Noelle Stiles and Owen Gregoire. He also leaves behind many nieces and nephews who loved him deeply.
He will be sadly missed by family and friends alike, but they believe he is already on the golf course in Heaven with his beloved family watching and cheering from a golden grassy knoll.
Memorial services for Bob will be conducted on Wednesday, July 24th at 11:30am, with an hour of visitation beforehand, held in the Davis Funeral Home Chapel. Arrangements are entrusted to Chas. E. Davis Funeral Home with Crematory 3075 S. Florida Avenue, Inverness.

Very sorry to hear about Bob´s passing. Bob was my boss at Saunders Brothers. He hired me as plant electrician right out of school. He gave me the opportunity to do so many projects and learn so many things. I´ll always remember those opportunities and the trust he had in me to complete them. Sometimes we would ride to Oxford or Fryeburg together in his El Camino. He was always good to me. Thank you Bob.

My sincere condolences to Bob´s family and to Fran Geyer. He was such a wonderful guy. I was fortunate to have met him a few times and found him to be so pleasant and engaging. I am sure all that knew Bob have wonderful memories that will help them through this sad time.

Bob was a lot of fun snowmobiling, partying, always ready for a good laugh. We never did get to play golf in the Villages. Maybe in Golf heaven. You will be missed. Sending my sincere sympathy to Family and Friends.

Bob was a great guy to golf with. We had a lot of fun ribbing each other about our golf game and the world in general. RIP my friend.

Bob was a wonderful man and wonderful grandfather to Dustin. Bobbi and Greg were gracious to have my mother visit to Florida a couple of times. She did not like to travel much but really enjoyed those trips. We were lucky to have them in our lives.
