Robert Andrew Dutko

It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Robert Andrew Dutko, “Bobby Dukes” 75, of Allentown NJ on August 3rd, 2025. Surrounded by his family, he passed peacefully after a short illness.

Born October 22nd, 1949, Bob spent his life rooted in the community he called home. Known for his warm hospitality and generous spirit, Bob always had a way of making everyone feel welcome. Whether it was ensuring guests were well-fed or inviting company to stay and chat for hours, he created a space where people felt at ease. His ability to bring friends and family together left a lasting impression on all who had the pleasure of spending time with him.

A retired lather/carpenter, he continued working at the Trenton-Robbinsville Airport.

Bob loved to fish, hunt, garden and tell a joke or two with friends but more than anything he loved his family.

He was preceded in death by his parents, Andrew George Dutko and Lucy Chiarello Dutko. Bob was the beloved husband of Phyllis and a devoted father to his six children; Robert Dutko, Joseph Dutko, Dara Dutko, Dana Mirabelli (Chris), Janice Dutko-Perez (John) and Frank Dutko. He was also a cherished grandfather and great grandfather.

His presence will also be deeply missed by his sister Elizabeth Angelucci, brother John Dutko, and his former wife Patricia Kelly.

A celebration of life will be held at the “house” to be determined at a later date.
