Robert Shorr Obituary
WARWICK - Robert D. Shorr, 69, of Warwick, Rhode Island, passed away July 14, 2024 in Kent County Hospital. He was the husband of
Norma
(Parente) Shorr.
Born in
Providence, he was the son of the late Albert and Beatrice (Namerow) Shorr.
Robert was the Vice President of the former Albert A. Shorr Co as well as focusing for various agencies on taking care of people with developmental disabilities.
Along with his wife Norma, he is survived by their son, Jarred Shorr, of Coventry. He was the brother of the late Edward and Stephen Shorr
Robert was a graduate from Roger Williams University in Bristol, Rhode Island, receiving a B.A. in political science. He was an avid fan of the Boston Red Sox and New England Patriots. In addition to sports, Robert enjoyed watching all types of movie genres while reciting quotes with his son Jarred.
Along with Robert's personal interests, he will forever be known for leading every conversation with a sincere and compassionate tone. If anyone gave Robert a minute of their time to bond or share a conversation with respect and kindness, they instantly won his heart.
Robert's greatest joy in his life was the love that he shared for his wife Norma and son Jarred. They were his best friends through thick and thin that kept him going through any life challenge.
Great men are not born great, they grow great. Don Vito Corleone (The Godfather)
