He was lovingly referred to as "Pops" by his grandsons Kyle & Colin Tursky, Matthew & Tyler Borkowski.

Many friends, neighbors and coworkers knew him as Bob.

Bob worked 30+ years in the Union DC9 painters & allied trades. He worked and raised his family in New York before retiring to Florida. In Florida he enjoyed being outdoors in the golf community he resided in and spending time with family.

Bob always had a smile and a new joke. He liked making people laugh.He would talk to anyone and everyone making friends wherever he went.

Knowing that he is home with our Lord brings peace and comfort to all that miss him. The family would ask in remembrance of him smile, laugh and be kind to a stranger.
