Robert George Hepp

Robert George Hepp, 72, of Medway, MA, passed away on Friday, May 2 surrounded by the love of his family.
Bob was born on August 9,1952 in New Britain, CT. He grew up in Plainville, CT with his parents, four siblings, and many cousins, where he fostered his love of family, fast cars, and Polish food.
Bob went on to attend the University of Connecticut where he met his beloved wife Sandy, earned a B.S. in Business, and became a lifelong fan of UCONN basketball (Go Huskies!).
Bob channeled his passion for cars into a successful career as the owner of a wholesale tire business in Vermont. He was a talented and respected businessman, known especially for his public speaking prowess.
Bob and Sandy raised their daughters Erica and Megan in Milton, VT, where Bob was famous for attending all of his daughters' sporting, theater, and other activities no matter how far the drive.
Later in life, Bob's greatest joy was being "Boppy" to his three grandchildren, Mika, Chase and Jojo, splitting time between Davidson, NC and Medway, MA so he could be an active presence in their lives.
When not spending time with his grandchildren, Bob enjoyed reading, watching car races, and visiting museums and historical sites (favorites included Gettysburg and the American Heritage Museum). He took pride in cooking Thanksgiving dinner for his large extended family every year.
From the moment of his cancer diagnosis until his passing, Bob maintained his positive attitude, determined spirit, and "dad jokes" sense of humor. He valued family and friends above all else, always willing to drop everything to lend a hand to those in need.
Bob is survived by his wife Sandra (Calandrelli) Hepp of Medway, MA, daughter Erica Han of Medfield, MA and her husband Young and daughters Mika and Jorie, daughter Megan Hepp Hovis of Charlotte, NC and her husband Ben and son Chase, siblings Nancy Hepp of Milton, VT, Lynn Atkinson of New London, CT, and Ronald Hepp and wife Patti of Southington CT, along with many nieces, nephews, and cousins.
He is predeceased by his parents Richard Hepp and Olga (Keiko) Hepp and brother Richard Hepp.
A celebration of life will be held at a date to be announced.
Arrangements are under the care of the Ginley Crowley Funeral Home Medway.
In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations to the American Heritage Museum or Dana-Farber Cancer Institute (links below).
