Robert L. Gross

Robert L. Gross of Hicksville, NY passed away on March 3, 2026, at the age of 78 following

hospitalization while recovering from a fall.

He was the loving and devoted husband of Carol for 55 years; beloved father of Jennifer (Bob)

and cherished Papa to Angelina, Lydia, and Lila. He was the beloved brother of Christina and

was preceded in death by his sister, Marilynn, and his parents, Robert and Olga. Bob also deeply

loved his roles as a brother-in-law, uncle, cousin, godfather, and friend.

Known to many as "Bob, Bobby or Mr. G," with a giant smile and gentle spirit. He served

families throughout Long Island for over 50 years as a Funeral Director. He believed this work

was his calling in life and was a true blessing to countless families during their most difficult

times.

Bob loved his Lord and Savior, and through that faith we have the reassurance that he now

rests in eternal peace.
