Robert Curley Obituary
Robert Curley, age 89, of Fairfield, beloved husband of the late Dolores J. Curley, entered into eternal life on Sunday, July 30, 2023. Born in Bridgeport to the late Ferdinand and Lillian Wallin Curley on February 20, 1934.
Robert attended Harding High School and graduated in 1952. Robert then went on to proudly serve his country in the United States Army during the Korean and Vietnam conflict between 1954-1957 while in Korea. Robert had worked for IBM for 30 plus years. He took great pleasure in art and playing golf, and once retired, he enjoyed walking with his childhood friend, Bob. He was a loving father and Poppy, who looked forward to taking his family to museums, camping, and fishing. You knew Robert was having a great time when you heard his contagious laugh.
Robert's memory will be lovingly remembered by his two children, Lee Ann Baranyar, and her husband, James, of Watertown and William J. Curley, and his wife, Rehana, of Florida; two grandsons, William J. Curley, Jr. and James Baranyar, Jr.; and many nieces and nephews. In addition to his loving wife of 55 years, Dolores, and his parents, Robert was predeceased by a grandson, Joseph P. McFadden, Jr.; two sisters; one brother, and several nieces and nephews.
All services will be held privately. The family would like to thank his caregiver, Tomasina Banks, who remained by his side and gave Curley (as she called him) extraordinary professional care, compassion, and love. To sign his online guest register, please visit www.LeskoPolkeFuneralHome.com

I worked as an IBM Customer Engineer for many years with Bob when we had our office at the Merritt 7 complex in Norwalk. He was a great guy and had the best stories and laugh. All the field guys would meet at the cafeteria in one of the building in the Merritt 7 complex for lunch many days and share stories. Many memorable days were spent at IBM with Bob!

I frequently traveled each summer from Florida to CT to visit relatives especially Aunt Dolores and Uncle Bob. One summer I drove up with my two mini schnauzers, and Uncle Bob put up a fence for them in his backyard next to the concord grapes. Who does that? Uncle Bob was one of the kindest and caring people I have ever met. He was passionately committed to his family. Uncle Bob was an amazing conversationalist, and I often looked forward to what we would talk about during my visits. He will be greatly missed...especially his enduring laugh. Rest in peace Uncle Bob....your niece Susan from Florida
