Robert "Hockey Bob" Giacalone, passed away August 26, 2025, and will be deeply missed. He is survived by his wife and best friend, Marie; his stepson, Mario (Sarah) Saracino; his stepdaughter, Daisy (Violette) Saracino; his most loved and treasured dog (best friend), Bella Beanie; his sister, Anne and brother, Don; also, various other relatives. Bob was best known as "Hockey Bob" and very proud to be a part of thousands of Union-Endicott High School students' lives (very proud of all of them). Thanks to all the customers and friends he made from having his store and who touched his life – to my best friend, wife, soulmate and whole world, I will miss you and hope to see you again.
A memorial service will be held on Saturday September 13, 2025, at New Life Ministries 201 Hill Ave. Endicott, NY at 2:00 PM. The family will receive friends at New Life on Saturday from 1:00 PM until time of service at 2:00 PM.
