Robert Dutka Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers on Apr. 26, 2025.
Brick - Robert John Dutka, 77, of Brick, New Jersey, went to be with the Lord on February 22, 2025. Born on May 7, 1947, in New Brunswick, New Jersey, Robert lived a life full of love, laughter, and generosity.

He shared a loving marriage with his wife of 44 years, Charlotte Dutka. Together they built a family that was the center of Robert's world. He is lovingly remembered by his daughters Melissa Dutka-Villano and her husband Tony Villano; Jennifer Dutka and her partner Danny Stizza; Adrianne Paolercio and her partner Niko Kim; Stacey Tobias; and Roberta Omictin and her husband Max Omictin.

Robert was a proud grandfather to Dominick Paolercio, Kasey Lynn Tobias, Taylan Dutka, Parker Stizza, Nicholas Villano, and Brandon Stizza. His grandchildren brought him immense joy and were often the recipients of his playful jokes.

He is also survived by his sisters Joan Weiner, Dorothy Simpson, and Patricia Dutka. He was predeceased by his parents, Josephine Frances Paralusz (Dutka) and Frank Dutka; his brother Frank Dutka; and sister Marion Cramer.

A Celebration of Life will be held on Friday May 2, 2025, from 11:00 AM to 1:00 PM at Atlantic View Cemetery & Mausoleum, located at 49 Forest Avenue in Manasquan, New Jersey.

You're home, Dad!
