Robert Gassert

Robert "Moose" Gassert, entered into eternal rest at the age of 68 years old. Bobby grew up in Harrison and lived there until moving to Toms River in 2013.
Bobby worked for the Harrison Police Department and the Harrison Housing Authority for 34 years retiring in May of 2009. He loved working for the town of Harrison. Bobby did his job with pride and wore his badge with great honor. He was a faithful communicant of Holy Cross Church and St. Justin the Martyr Church where he served as an Extraordinary Minister of the Holy Eucharist. He was a member of the Knights of Columbus in Harrison and the Harrison/East Newark Elks before transferring to the Toms River Councils.
Bobby enjoyed taking photographs of beautiful sunsets and lighthouses.
He was always willing to lend a helping hand in any way that he could with energy and a smile. Bobby devoted his life caring for his beloved wife Joan Ellen. He met Joan Ellen in the Harrison Library Park which we are all so familiar with. They fell in love, married and travelled the world together. May the Choir of Angels lead our dear friend Bobby to paradise to be with his beloved Joan Ellen.
