Bob married his wife, Judy (Baier) in 1962, and were happily together for 53 years, where they resided in Niantic and Waterford. He had a successful career as a salesman for Harvest and Nissan Bread, retiring in 1984.
Bob enjoyed many activities outside of his career. He was an avid bowler and golfer and was involved with coaching youth baseball in East Lyme. A few of the many hobbies he enjoyed were going clamming, fishing, and cooking. A couple of his specialties were delicious clam chowder and the "best" stuffed clams.
He was a devoted husband, father, and grandfather. Bob leaves two children, daughter, Lisa Littlefield and husband, Gary, of Waterford, and son, Robert J. Sartori and wife, Athena, of Salem; three grandchildren, Brittany Littlefield, Benjamin and Alaina Sartori. He is also survived by his brother, Benjamin Sartori of Las Vegas, Nevada, and his sister, Joyce Anne Sartori of Healdsburg, Calif. Bob also leaves numerous brother and sisters-in-law, nieces, nephews, and cousins.
He was predeceased by his sister, Mary Louise Yuhas of Las Vegas.

Dear Judy and Family, Our hearts and prayers are with each of you at this very sad time. While we didn't get to visit a lot, the time we did get to spend with Bob, he always was so happy. That big smile of his was always so wonderful. Bob touched so many people. While it's going to be difficult without him, we know he is in heaven dancing up a storm. May each of you find peace in all you did for him and know he is no longer suffering. May each of you find strength and peace. RIP Bob. Love to you all.

Dear Judy and Family,
I hope all of you know I am very sorry for your loss of Bob. God Bless all of you.
As you know, when I retired, I enjoyed my weekly visits with Bob as we were very good friends. Since I moved to SC I have over the years missed our talks, jokes, and laughs we shared together many times. I will continue to miss him as he had a special place in my heart. I thank God, as he will suffer no more.
Love to a special Friend and Family,
Jess

My heart and prayers go out to my sister Judy. She was the most amazing care giver to her husband Bob. She went way beyond the call of duty for him. He was very blessed and often relayed that to many of the family. Lisa, Bobby and his sister-in-law, Pamela also contributed to the care of Bob. He will be sadly missed by Jess and me. He was the greatest of brother-in-laws anyone could ask for. Rest in peace, I love you, Bob!
