Obituary published on Legacy.com by Dery Funeral Home on Mar. 10, 2026.
Robert "Bob" Huggins, age 72, of Pittsfield, MA passed away on March 7, 2026 surrounded by his beloved family after a 15-month battle with esophageal cancer.

Born on March 15, 1953 in Pittsfield, Bob was a son of the late Frank and Ann Overbaugh Huggins. He was educated in the local schools and was a graduate of Pittsfield High School.

Bob worked for many years at Crescent Creamery and Sure Winner Foods as a truck driver. He retired in 2017. He was a longtime member of Rensselaer Elks #2073. Bob enjoyed bowling, going to the casino and spending time with his family. He especially loved long car rides and going to turkey shoots.

Bob is survived by his wife of 43 years, the former Tina M. Londergan. He also leaves two sons, Shaun Huggins (Kristine) and Nathan Huggins (Aislinn), his grandchildren, Jaden and Colin Perkins and Adeline Huggins, sisters-in-law Terry Dickhaus (David) and Jo-Ann Mossman (Doug), brothers-in-law Bob Bottume, James, Andy and Tim Londergan, nephew Bob Bottume (Brenda) and niece Allison Crespo (Joe), as well as many other nieces and nephews.

In addition to his parents, Bob was predeceased by his sister June Bottume, his mother and father-in-law James & Adeline Londergan, and Janice Trussel.

A special thanks goes out to Dr. Bowen, Dr. Bayliss, Dr. Gabara and Dr. Ram and all the staff of 4 West Oncology and the PCU for their care and compassion during Bob's illness and treatments.
