SAINT ALBANS-Sadly our beloved father and friend Robert John Sylvia, 67, passed away suddenly on May 4, 2023, in Palmyra.
"I don't know half of you half as well as I should like, and I like less than half of you half as well as you deserve."
He is survived by loving family and friends, notably his sons, Robert Ames Sylvia and Thomas Adams Sylvia of Lavallette, New Jersey and Cambridge; his daughter, Sarah Sylvia of Saint Albans; his extended loved ones: Bobbie Ann Brooks, Bobbie Ann Maniello, and Lisa Marie Maniello, all of Hartland, and the Fitzgerald family of Cambridge.
He will be remembered always as friend, father, fisherman, and a fantastical dreamer.
A gathering will be held by the family at a time to be announced.
