ROBERT PERRICONE Obituary
Native Staten Islander
Robert Perricone died in the early morning hours of Tuesday, Feb. 13, 2018, at home surrounded by his loving family after a long battle with Parkinson's disease.
A lifelong Staten Islander, Bob was a graduate of McKee High School. He and his wife, Carol (Bishop) were married in 1956. Later that year he joined the NYPD. In 1962 Bob became a member of the FDNY, retiring in 1977, after which he and his wife owned and operated Kobren Pharmacy for 20 years.
In addition to his wife, Bob is survived by sons, Thomas, Robert, and Paul, and daughter, Randi Low; a sister, Lorraine Divnich; 10 grandchildren, and five great-grandchildren. He was predeceased by brothers, Thomas and Daniel.
Bob loved nothing more than being in the company of his family. He enjoyed traveling, golf, and paddleball. He never missed an opportunity to go fishing and always said his greatest catch was his wife, Carol. In his retirement he also took great pleasure in spending time in Long Beach Island, N.J., and Siesta Key, Fla.
Ask any of his friends or family, Bob loved a great practical joke and was the life of many a party.
In lieu of flowers, donations to Wounded Warrior Project are appreciated.
Friends will be received Thursday, Feb. 15, 2018, from 2 to 4 and 7 to 9 p.m. at Cherubini McInerney Funeral Home, 1289 Forest Ave., Staten Island. Service is Friday at 10:30 a.m. Cremation to follow.

Robert " Bob" Perricone died after years of struggle with Parkinson's disease. We met and became fast friends at the YMCA. Bob was a paddleball player with a bunch of funny, loud and wonderful players. They played at the same time as we did cardio workouts. If you were a kid growing up in the playgrounds you can appreciate how we kidded each other in the locker room and it was a great way to start your busy day trying to make a living. Our group socialized together and the bond was strong. Bob was the brunt of a lot of my kidding, especially since he was part of the DeNino pizza empire. I always insisted that my bill be put of Bob's account but all he did was roll his eyes and say something in retort. His daughters were part of the scam I tried to pull on Bob and they were such a treat to know. Over the years Bob suffered, Carol, his best catch, was the epitome of a loving, caring, strong woman. It would be an understatement to say she is an example to all of us. It's true and sincere to say that I loved Bob as a friend and was always a loyal and real pleasure to be with. God grant Carol and the family comfort and my the good Lord be patient with all those paddleball players Bob joins in his reward for being a good and faithful husband, father, grandfather and NYFD veteran. RIP Bob always in our prayers
