Robert Jacobellis Obituary

Robert (Bob) J. Jacobellis Sr., 86, of Manchester, NH, passed away on Sunday, July 23, 2023. He was a resident of Hanover Hill Healthcare Center.

Born in 1936, to Antonio and Angelina Jacobellis, he grew up in Winchester, MA and was a baseball and football athlete at Winchester High School. Shortly after graduation, he joined the United States Army where he received his education, trained as a draftsman, and was later employed by Raytheon Company of Andover, MA retiring after 38 years as a Senior Facilities Engineer.

Married to Agatha (Richardson) Jacobellis on November 22, 1959, they celebrated 63 years of happy marriage and dedicated themselves to their family. He enjoyed traveling and the outdoors with his wife and four children and especially loved to drive and surprise the family with the "scenic" route. He was a constant presence in both his children's and grandchildren's lives, attending all school functions, sporting events, and milestones.

He is survived by his wife Aggie, his oldest daughter Karen (Jacobellis) Wilkinson and husband Timothy Wilkinson, his son Robert Jacobellis Jr and wife Kristie (Maltais) Jacobellis, his middle daughter Brenda (Jacobellis) Rand and husband James Rand, his youngest daughter Leanne Jacobellis and her partner Lynn Saucier, his sister Virginia (Jacobellis) Bruno, and his grandchildren Jordan, Alex, Joshua, Alesandro and Angelina. He was preceded in passing by his father Antonio Jacobellis, mother Angelina (Vesce) Jacobellis and siblings Dominic Jacobellis and Grace Jacobellis.

As his family, we will forever love and respect the man who taught us that your friends will come and go, but you can count on your family forever.

Bob, Dad, Nonno....We love you truly, truly, Dear.
