Robert Travis Obituary

Beloved husband to Patricia. Beloved father to Chris and Rob. Father-in-law to Jaclynn and Jaclyn. Beloved grandfather to Chris Jr, Liam, Luke, Logan, and Emma. Beloved brother to Donald, George, Marie and the late Loretta. Loving uncle to Rosemary, Matthew, Mellisa, Allison, Sarah, Paul, Brandon, Kate, and the late Brian. Beloved Son of George and Marjorie. Beloved brother-in-law to Rosemary, John, Susan, Penny, Lynn, Bill, Ralph, Cathy and the late Thomas. He was the most dedicated, kind-hearted, and loving man- who accepted all. Served his country for 4 years in Navy, as a naval airman. Served the community of Jamaica, Queens, where his business was located. Devoted his life to his family, to spirituality and to the meaning of life at the School of Practical Philosophy, where he was a member for almost 50 years. He was the embodiment of the principles: "treat others as you would want to be treated", "love thy neighbor as thy Self" and "see the Self everywhere." We'll miss him and his example very much. "This is perfect, that is perfect. Take perfect from perfect, the reminder is perfect." Om Tat Sat. Funeral Mass is on July 16 at 11:00 AM at St. Thomas More Church in Breezy Point, NY, with a Celebration of His Life to follow at the Catholic Club across the street from the church.

My heart goes out to Pat and Chris and all the family I did not know. He was a humble and giving person with a great sense of humor and made everyones life brighter.

Bob's goodness, kindness, intelligence and gentle humor seem to have reached way beyond Staten Island to wherever in the world he set foot and whatever important study or job he took on. I have been fortunate to have known he and Patricia for many years at the School for Practical Philosophy.

A true example of a man with integrity, mastered in the art of conversation and recall of Shakespeare. He will be greatly missed. Love and prayers to Pat, Chris and Rob.
