Robert F. Frederick

Robert F. Frederick, 76, succumbed to pancreatic cancer on March 11, 2026. Bob passed peacefully knowing he was loved, admired, respected, and considered a great friend by many.

Bob was born and raised in Revere. He graduated from Wentworth Institute with an Associates’ Degree in Electrical Engineering. Following that, he proudly served in the US Navy, two years active and four years reserve. After 40 years with the Telephone Company, he took the opportunity to retire.

He loved sports, particularly the Celtics of old, the Red Sox, the Patriots, and was always ready to play horseshoes, participate in bowling leagues, or join the boys for a night of poker or Super Bowl party. Bob had a penchant for camping and a love of music, especially Bob Seeger, George Thorogood, the Eagles, the Celtic Women, and the Moody Blues.
