Robert Zullo Obituary

Robert Anthony "Bob" Zullo, Sr., 86, passed away on March 24, 2025, in Pensacola, Florida.
Born on March 13, 1939, in Newark, New Jersey, Bob dedicated his life to service and family. He built a distinguished career as a firefighter in Newark, bravely protecting his community with unwavering commitment and resilience. His work embodied his deep sense of duty and selflessness-qualities that defined him both professionally and personally.
Bob's greatest joy was his family. He shared a loving life with his wife, Rosemary, and was a devoted father to his children: Robert, Darren, and Marlena. He cherished every moment spent with them and extended that same love to his grandchildren-Ryan, Adrianna, Joseph, Brianna, Blake, and Gwen-who brought him endless pride and happiness.
A man of wisdom and patience, Bob found joy in simple pleasures. He loved spending time with his family and grandchildren, making memories that will be treasured forever. Atlantic City held a special place in his heart, offering moments of fun and relaxation. He also enjoyed puzzles, a pastime that reflected his thoughtful nature and keen mind.
Bob is also survived by his siblings: Pasquale, Evelyn, Thomas, and Rosemarie. He was predeceased by his parents, Pasquale and Rose.
Those who knew Bob will remember him as a humble and hardworking man whose generosity knew no bounds. His kindness touched many lives, leaving behind a legacy of love and devotion that will never be forgotten.
May his memory bring comfort to all who had the privilege of knowing him.

Your dad was one of a kind. I enjoyed watching Ryan and Kyles flag football games with him. As well as bringing in the new year a few years back. My thoughts and prayers are with you all. May he rest in peace.

I will always remember him as a kind, friendly and loving uncle. I remember when living in NJ, my mother (his sister) had a picture of their father, Pasquale, on a shelf, and for the longest time, as a child, I thought that picture was my Uncle Robert. I imagined him to be like the grandfather I never got to meet. Sending our thoughts, prayers and love to all of my family. Rest peacefully in Heaven with Grandma and Grandpa, Uncle Robert. We will miss you . Love Always, Stacy and Kevin (he was so glad he got to meet him in 2023)
