Robert "Bob" Milstein

Robert "Bob" Milstein, 82, of Palm Coast, FL, passed away peacefully in the early morning of July 31, 2024. Surrounded by his loving family, Bob remained full of laughter until the end.
Bob is survived by his devoted wife and best friend of 56 years, Sheryl Milstein; his daughter, Ellyn, and son-in-law, Thomas of Tallahassee, FL; and his daughter, Renee, and son-in-law, Darren, along with his grandchildren, Ruby, Emmy, and Josh, of Framingham, MA. He also leaves behind his sister Adrienne and brother-in-law Bill of Palm Coast, FL; his sister Margie and brother-in-law Ralph of Flushing, NY; and his sister-in-law Amy and brother-in-law Alan of Boynton Beach, FL. Bob will also be dearly missed by his many nieces, nephews, cousins and friends.
Bob grew up in Long Beach, NY and served as a military police officer stationed in Fairbanks, Alaska during the Vietnam War. He met Sheryl while working at A & S, and they married in June of 1968. In the 1980's, the family left Long Island for the warmth of South Florida. Later, in preparation for retirement, Bob and Sheryl built their dream home in Palm Coast, where Bob enjoyed the remainder of his days. Known for his love of food and cooking, gift for making others laugh, and kind-hearted nature, Bob touched many lives with his humor and warmth. He loved to dabble in magic and was an early adopter of technology owning the first Atari and VCR in the neighborhood. Bob also delighted in his collection of model trains and cars, maintaining a youthful spirit throughout life. In his 70s, he discovered a new passion for art, creating hundreds of paintings which he lovingly shared with family and friends.
A celebration of Bob's life will be held at a later date. In lieu of flowers, the family requests that donations be made to the American Diabetes Association in Bob's memory.
