Bob is survived by his beloved wife Sue, his treasured son Rob, his cherished daughter-in-law Jill, and his sister Joan Costello.

His hobbies included playing cards, making sawdust in the garage, and an intense love of pickleball where he would frequently showcase his tremendous sense of humor with all who shared the courts with him.

A memorial service will be held at Rohan Community Recreation Center on Sunday, April 6 ^th at 3:00pm followed by a celebratory pickleball session on the outdoor courts.
