Robert Patrick McAuliffe

Robert Patrick "Bob" McAuliffe, 91, of Attleboro, Massachusetts, passed away peacefully, surrounded by his loving family on November 21, 2025.

Born on May 17, 1934, in Attleboro, he was the beloved son of the late Johanna Marion McAuliffe; and the loving grandson of the late Michael C. McAuliffe and Margaret E. (Walsh) McAuliffe, all of Attleboro.

A graduate of Attleboro High School, Class of 1953, Bob was a gifted athlete who played both basketball and baseball. He went on to earn his degree from Bryant University and later served honorably in the United States Army. His professional career in sales spanned decades, with contributions to The Robbins Company, Dieges & Clust, Herff Jones, Leach & Garner, Unocal, and Fish Callahan Co. His lifelong enthusiasm for golf led him to a second career at TPC Boston in Norton, where he spent ten years sharing his love of the game. Bob also possessed a strong entrepreneurial spirit, starting several ventures at home in his spare time.

Beyond his work, Bob was a man of many passions. He loved sailing around Buzzards Bay in his cherished sailboat, was an avid ham radio operator, and embraced hobbies in computer technology and photography. His curiosity, creativity, and adventurous nature enriched every stage of his life.

Bob will be remembered for his devotion to his family, his generous heart, and his joyful spirit. His legacy lives on in all who knew and loved him.

Bob leaves behind his devoted wife of 65 years, Jeanne L. (Juaire) McAuliffe, also born in Attleboro in 1936. Together, they built a home filled with warmth, faith, and laughter. He is survived by his children: Brian McAuliffe and his wife Judith of South Attleboro; Lisa (McAuliffe) Hope and her husband George of Charleston, SC; Maureen (McAuliffe) Camara and her husband William of Tiverton, RI; and James McAuliffe and his wife Siobhan of Charlton, MA.
