Bobby graduated from Manual Training High School in Brooklyn, New York City. He soon went to work for a mapping company and later became a photographer of celebrities in the 50's in New York City. After that he worked for MTA as a bus operator and in revenue intake. Bobby was always very close to his parents especially to his dad Bob. With the passing of both of his parents, Bobby became very close with his sister Esther and nephew David Stella. David cared for him unconditionally after David's mom Esther passed away this past April. David became his nurse, driver and caretaker.
Robert Blankenburg was a very compassionate human being, a great historian and talented artist.
Bobby is survived by: his nephews David Stella from York, PA and Charles Stella, his wife Joanne and their children Mathew and Joshua from Brandywine, MD, and cousin Gustavo Blankenburg from Carlsbad, CA.
Rest in peace Uncle Bobby, you will always be in our hearts.
