Robert Anthony Scelfo

Robert “Bobby” Anthony Scelfo met his Lord and Savior on Monday, March 30, 2020. Bobby was the much loved husband of Michaelle Wolfe Scelfo and the adored father of Craig ( Lauren), Meredith , and Brent. He was “Big B” to grandchildren Everett and Luke Scelfo. He was the son of the late Sam and Sydney Mae Scelfo and brother of Sam, Jr. (Jackie Sue), Jenny ( Wayne), Frank( Holly), Barbara (Kalen), Chris (Nancy), Susan (Brad) and James (Bae). Additionally, he is survived by his father-in-law, Donald Wolfe, and sisters-in-law Gay W. Hanlon (Tony) and Adriann W. Pickich (Victor), Uncle Bernard Scelfo, as well as many nieces, nephews, and cousins. Bobby graduated from New Iberia Senior High and was Mr. NISH and a three sport letterman. He played football on scholarship at Northeast Louisiana University where he graduated with a Bachelor of Science degree in Pharmacy. During his professional career, Bobby was awarded the Bowl of Hygeia by the Louisiana Pharmacists Association (LPA). This award recognizes pharmacists who possess outstanding records of civic leadership in their communities. He also co-founded the Greater New Orleans Pharmacists Association, served on the Board of Directors of the LPA, volunteered with Special Olympics, coached at Johnny Bright Playground as well as at Archbishop Hannan High School where he helped lead the Hawks to the 2013 state championship game. He was a friend to many as he had a personality that was unmatched. We will sorely miss Bobby Scelfo. Due to the COVID-19 virus restrictions, the family will hold a celebration of Bobby’s life at a later date, where the family would be honored to host all those whose lives were touched by Bobby. Pastor Waylon Bailey of First Baptist Church of Covington will preside at the graveside service for the immediate family. An online guestbook is available at www.gracenorthshore.com.
