It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Robert Ferrara on October 15, 2024, at the age of 61. Robert was born on February 21, 1963 in Bronx, NY to Linda Copeland and predeceased Robert Ferrara. He leaves behind his loving wife Nancy Ferrara, children Robert, Anthony, Daniel, and Michelle, beloved nephew Michael and one of his most prized treasures his grandchildren Audrina, Dominic, Jason, Massimo, Nicholas, Isabella, and Zoe. His passing was unexpected but quick, just like he always hoped it would be.

While we lost our most beloved Husband, Dad, and Pop Pop many have lost a friend and loved one in him. He has been a rock to many, a master at sarcastic humor, and even a glorious pain in the neck but what will be missed most is his larger than life presence. If you were lucky enough to know him and have him as part of your life you will know how truly special and unique he was in his own way with every single person in his life. Although loving husband, dad, and pop pop was his greatest role there was so much more to him- he was also a brother, uncle, cousin, friend, coworker, stand in paternal figure, the list goes on and on. His passing leaves an unfillable void in our lives and will not ever be forgotten. He would not want us to mourn but to remember the big bold life he lived un-wavered by anyone (besides Nancy who we know kept him in line) and to remember him in that way. He is loved and will be truly missed by all.
