Robert Grimaldi Obituary
He was the son of the late Anthony and Anna Grimaldi. Upon high school graduation, Robert entered the United States Army and was stationed in Puerto Rico, which he held fond memories of, until his honorable discharge in 1949. He would later go on to work for and retire from the N.Y. Telephone Company after many years of service.
Bob will be remembered as a loving man who was very supportive and generous with his time and was known to give a helping hand wherever needed. Bob loved family time together around the table enjoying Ann's cooking. He traveled to many places with his family, including, Branson, Mich., Florida, and Cape Cod. In the summer, he would often be found at his camp in Saratoga Springs or at the Saratoga Racetrack. Bob was an avid sports fan and was a big Yankees fan. Robert's greatest love will always be his family. He will surely be missed by all who loved him.
Robert is survived and will be missed by his beloved wife of 68 years, Ann L.; and his sons, Robert J. Grimaldi Jr., (Cynthia), Tony W. Grimaldi (Kim), and Bill Grimaldi (Dot). He also leaves behind his grandchildren, Dan, Melissa, Justin, Jourdan, Danny, Pat, and Kelcey; several great-grandchildren; and a special niece, Margaret Dacey, as well as several other nieces and nephews.
Along with his parents, Robert was predeceased by his brother, Joseph Grimaldi; his sister, Teresa; and his daughters-in-law, Patti and Pam Grimaldi.
The family would like to thank Eddy Traveling Nurses and the Community Hospice for the care, concern, and compassion shown.
Family and friends are invited and may call on Friday, November 24, from 10-11:30 a.m. at the W.J. Lyons, Jr. Funeral Home, 1700 Washington Ave., Rensselaer. A funeral home service will follow at 11:30 a.m. Burial will immediately follow in the Holy Sepulchre Cemetery in East Greenbush.
