Robert Germano Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers on Jun. 1, 2025.


Robert Joseph Germano, affectionately known as "Bob", passed away peacefully on May 30, 2025, surrounded by his loving family. He was 63 years old.

Born on December 1, 1961, in Rochester, New York, Bob was a man of great warmth, kindness, and humor. He dedicated his life to his family, his career at the Town of South Bristol Transfer Station, and his passion for music. He inspired generations of family, friends and acquaintances with his humor and storytelling. Bob could make anyone laugh and he loved to see everyone happy.

Bob was an avid music lover who could often be found jamming away on his porch, sharing melodies with family, friends, neighbors and his beloved dog Knight. His laughter, generosity, and unwavering love for his family will be truly missed.

He is survived by his children who loved him so dearly, Shannon Hoad; Sonny Germano; Sammy Germano; their mother, Joni Germano; his grandchildren, Joshua, Nathan and Elayna Hoad; His sisters, Jaqueline Germano; Joanne Herbst (Mike); Kelly Butcher (Thomas); brothers, Donny Germano (Kory); Jammie Quinn; his nieces, Angela Germano; Jessica Coin (Nick); Marci Germano (Ahmed); his nephews, Ricky Herbst; Donald Germano; many cousins, great nieces and nephews; and countless friends and acquaintances whose lives he touched.

A service will be held on June 8th, 2025 at 2:00 PM at Trinity Federated Church, 119 N Main St Naples NY 14512. A celebration of life will immediately follow at the VFW Post in Naples NY, where we will honor Bob's military service and his wonderful life surrounded by family and friends alike who are encouraged to share stories and memories.

In lieu of flowers, if anyone would like to donate to offset the cost of memorial services in Bob's name, you can do so here: https://gofund.me/f52c43fc .

Bob's legacy lives on in the stories he shared, the lives he shaped, and the music that will forever play in the hearts of those who loved him.

Bobby was my neighbor for many years. His family, Kim & I, my kids and grandkids spent many weekends sitting next to the campfire (bobby would bring home wood pallets from work which we would use for firewood). The kids would run around, roast marshmallows and have a grand old time. We enjoyed many cookouts and numerous cerebration parties together on holidays such as the 4th of July. Joni loved to cook, and Bobby loved to grill. Bobby was a great guy, very generous and a joy to be around. A great Dad also- very patient with the kids, and so easy going. He loved to fish with his kids. He loved playing his music - loud. I remember taking him and his boys out on my boat on Honeoye Lake and he thoroughly enjoyed himself. I had a garden on my property and some of my vegetables were mysteriously disappearing. I put my game camera up to find out what animal was eating my crops. Low and behold I pulled up a picture of Bobby with his shirt off, bent over picking some of my vegetables. I thought it was hilarious. Just could not be mad at Bobby - just too nice of a guy. He and Joni constantly fed us when we were at the property. They both were great hosts and the best neighbors one could ever ask for. Really miss those good old days. Another wake-up call to spend more time with those that you care for. Some day they may no longer will be there. Take the time to visit. RIP Bobby. You left us much too soon. Miss seeing your smile and hearing your contagious laugh...

Bob was such a character in the stories I would tell to coworkers about my weekly dump trips that when they visited me on a weekend, I took them to the transfer station. I introduced Bob to the women as " the sexyist man in South Bristol". He would be embarest, but I think he loved it.
