Robert Greco Obituary
Publish in a newspaper
Legacy
He was preceded in death by his father, Vincent Greco, his mother, Elizabeth Coletta, his stepmother, Patricia Greco and his brothers James and Michael. Robert will lovingly be remembered by his nieces, nephews, cousins, friends and siblings, especially Thomas, Donna, Kathleen (Kevin McCauley), and James (Kristin O'Neil - Greco). Robert was deeply grateful for the kindness, support, and love he received from his many colleagues, friends and family throughout his life.
Robert graduated from West Deptford High School, Class of 1972. A dedicated worker throughout his life, he began his career as an auto mechanic, lending his skills to Ray O'Neil Buick and Valle and Bowe Car Dealerships. Later, Bobby worked for West Deptford Township Public Works before discovering his true calling as a bus driver with the Woodbury Public School District. He had a deep love for young people and always dreamed of having children of his own. Driving the school bus brought him a special joy and a sense of purpose, as he cherished every moment with the students who adored him as much as he did them.
Robert dedicated countless hours as a volunteer with the Mantua Township Volunteer Fire Company and Gloucester County Emergency Services. He held the position of Captain in the Centre City Department during his service.

A celebration of Robert's life will take place on Thursday, November 21, 2024, at 1:00 PM in the Chapel of Memorial Presbyterian Church of Wenonah, located at 202 E. Mantua Avenue, Wenonah, NJ 08090. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in Robert's memory to the South Jersey Regional Animal Shelter, 1244 North Delsea Drive, Vineland, NJ 08360. Contributions can also be made online at https://sjras.org/donate/in-memory. Robert's love for animals was a defining part of his life, and it was apparent in the special bond he shared with his pets, Daisy and Honey, whom he cherished like family. Supporting this cause is a meaningful way to honor his memory.

Bob was the most amazing support for us at Woodbury. He drove the bus for the marching band many times and was always excited to see the kids every week. Not only would he drive for us, but he would load the truck with us, carry props, and was an amazing helping hand. As well as that, he would always watch us perform, ask about scores, and support the program every way he could. Every week he would show up with his Marching Band badge and shirt, ready to represent Woodbury wherever he went. I will miss his laugh and seeing him weekly for competitions. I will miss the voicemails he leaves on my phone to see when he needs to report. I will miss the long conversations on the bus, and his genuine spirit. Bob, you were an amazing person and we miss you deeply!

Dear Greco Family - Please accept my deepest condolence.
I am the secretary in the transportation department at Woodbury City Public Schools.
Bob and I had a wonderful friendship. We talked about family, pets and typically we solved all the
problems of the world in just one short visit. I will forever remember when I was short a bus
driver in the month of December and needed coverage, I would leave
him a message asking if he could drive the sleigh because Santa was sick. I can still hear his laugh.
He was the most accommodating & kindest human on earth. He once needed an item he could not
find in the store so I offered to purchase from Amazon. When it arrived at the doorstep the
next day he swore I was a magician. I will miss the happy face drawings on his time sheets each
week. The department will not be the same without him. Forever in our hearts. Love, Maria Blando
