Robert "Bob" A. Chisholm, 65, of Plymouth, MA, passed away suddenly on August 27, 2025.
Born in Rockland, MA, Bob was the beloved son of the late Donald and Lorraine Chisholm of Rockland, later Plymouth.
He is survived by his siblings, Donna Chisholm of Plymouth, Kathleen Hitchcock and her husband Paul of Abington, Cindy St. George and her husband Les of Punta Gorda, FL, and Scott Chisholm of Plymouth. He also leaves behind several nephews and a niece, along with his cherished great-nieces, Enslie and Isla Hitchcock of East Bridgewater, with whom he found his greatest joy.
Bob was a proud graduate of Rockland High School, Class of 1978. He dedicated many years of his career to ET Wright in Rockland and later Foot Joy in Brockton, and was most recently employed at Savers in Plymouth.
With a lifelong fascination for history and the spirit world, Bob also found fulfillment as a guide with Dead of Night Ghost Tours in Plymouth, where he loved sharing stories and connecting with people from near and far.
Bob will be remembered for his humor, curiosity, and his love of family. His sudden passing leaves a deep void on the lives of those who loved him, but his spirit will live on in the memories and stories shared by family and friends.
A visitation will be held at the Cartmell-Davis Funeral Home, 619 State Rd., Plymouth (MANOMET), on Thursday, September 4th, from 9:00 am till 11:00 am. Followed by a service in the funeral home at 11:00 am. Burial will take place at Vine Hills Cemetery, Plymouth.
