Published by Memorial Funeral Home - Fanwood on Dec. 6, 2009.
Robert "Bob" Ferraro Age: 77 Plainfield Robert Ferraro passed away Sunday December 6, 2009. Born in Middle Village, NY, he lived in Plainfield since 1968. Bob was a proud Navy veteran serving in Korea from 1951-1955. He joined the Nassau County Police Department until moving to Plainfield. Bob served 8 years as a Plainfield Councilman and was most recently employed by the PMUA. Bob was a member of the RMS Titanic society and had the distinction of making a dive to the wreck site as well as giving many memorable speeches. Many might also know Bob because of his love of entertaining and right up until his passing he could be found singing the night away during karaoke. Bob is survived by his wife Bobbie, 6 children, Robin, Tammy, Caryn, Cathy, Tommy & Amy and 14 grandchildren. He touched so many people in his life and we're all better for having known such a wonderful man. Bob chose to have his body donated to Robert Wood Johnson to be used for medical research. A Memorial Service will be held Wednesday December 9th from 6-9pm at Memorial Funeral Home, 155 South Avenue, Fanwood. fanwoodmemorial.com. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made in Bob's name to Deborah Hospital at www.deborahfoundation.org

It was a pleasure and an honor to have known Mr. Ferraro. He would bring my brother, Barry, and I to school (Covenant Christian) when my parents were unable. Mr. Ferraro cared about young people and we cared about him. We send our condolence to the family.
