Robert "Bob" McGoldrick

Robert "Bob" McGoldrick, age 80, passed peacefully into his heavenly home on October 19, 2023, from complications due to Lewy Body and Alzheimer's Dementias while residing at Arden Courts in Austin, Texas.

Bob was born September 20, 1943, in Queens, New York. He was a resident of Austin since 1977 and was a member of St. Theresa Catholic Church. Bob graduated from Manhattan College and NYU with degrees in Electrical Engineering and Business Administration. He volunteered for the US Army during the Vietnam War and served stateside as a Private.

Bob worked at IBM for 35 years. He started out in design in the early days of semiconductor development and later worked as a Project Manager on the Home PC, Big Blue, and OS/2 System Software projects. After retiring from IBM, Bob then served as Coordinator of ACC's High Tech Institute for ten years, during which time he was instrumental in launching their Game Development and Animation program. Throughout his life, Bob enjoyed photography, biking, dancing, backpacking, traveling, and spending time with family. He also loved a good glass of red wine and a box of dark chocolates. Bob dedicated his service to Christ as a Eucharistic Minister, St. Vincent de Paul volunteer, St. Theresa Catalyst Men's Ministry, and Meals on Wheels driver. He exemplified his favorite Bible verse, Micah 6:8, in all that he did.

Bob loved his Lord Jesus Christ, and he will be remembered as a loving, supportive, and devoted husband, father, grandpa, brother, uncle, and friend.
