Robert Pellicoro Obituary
ROBERT PELLICORO
Passed on to eternal rest on Friday, February 11, 2022. Proudly born in the Bronx, NY, in 1934, Bob moved to Rockville, Maryland in 1964. He lived his long life with eagerness and generosity. His ferocious desire for adventure and appreciation for a good cut of prosciutto was only matched by his unflinching adoration for his family, whom he protected and supported at all costs. He loved well and is well loved and remembered by that family: his wife of 63 years, Geraldine, his children Bob (Christine) Pellicoro Jr., Mary Pellicoro, Sue (John) Russell, Gina Pellicoro, Kim (Keith) Mann, and Jill Pellicoro, and an ever-growing tribe of nine grandchildren and three great-grandchildren. "The stream has reached the sea, and once more the great mother holds her son against her breast."
A Funeral Mass will be held at Shrine of St. Jude's, 12701 Veirs Mill Rd., Rockville, MD, on February 22nd, 2022 at 11am. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made in his memory to American Heart Association. Full obituary and online guestbook at:
