In Loving Memory of Robert Lewis Feldman August 8, 1949 – August 29, 2025

Robert Lewis Feldman, affectionately known as Bob, passed away peacefully on Friday, August 29, 2025, at Crestwood Nursing Home in Warren, surrounded by his family. He was 76.

Bob spent his final years at Crestwood, where the staff treated him not just as a resident, but as family. Their compassion and care meant the world to him, and he was loved immensely by all who knew him there.

Born in Providence, Rhode Island, Bob was the middle child of the late Sydney and Esther (Luckniansky) Feldman. He graduated from the University of Rhode Island with a degree in Agriculture/ Bachelor of Science, a field that reflected his lifelong passion for planting and growing. Bob took great pride in cultivating flowers, raspberries, and other plants-especially the expansive raspberry field at his home in Tiverton, which brought him immense joy.

Bob was the proud owner of East Bay Electric in Tiverton, where he served the community for 45 years with dedication and skill. He previously resided in Tiverton before moving to Warren and later Anchor Bay Assisted Living. Outside of work, Bob found peace and adventure in sailing and biking, hobbies that reflected his love of nature and movement.

He was a devoted father to Deena Feldman of Fall River, MA, and Jodi Feldman and her partner, Matthew Boulay, of Somerset, MA. He was a cherished brother to Tina Crosby and her husband, Harvey, of Newton Center, MA, and was predeceased by his brother, Marvin Feldman. Bob was a loving grandfather to Arianna and Remy, and a step-grandfather to Rhea and Rowan. He also continued a deep connection and friendship to his former wife, Gerri (Kaplan) Feldman of Barrington, RI.

Graveside services will be held on Tuesday at 11:00 a.m. at Lincoln Park Cemetery, 1469 Post Road, Warwick. Shiva will be private. In lieu of flowers, contributions in Bob's memory may be made to The Parkinson's Foundation, 200 SE 1st St., #800, Miami, FL 33131.
