Bob was the beloved husband of Cecilia Macatangay Sheehan; devoted father to Timothy Macatangay and his wife Dainae May of San Antonio, TX, John Macatangay and his wife Megan of Dallas, TX, Julius Macatangay and his wife Katie of San Diego, CA and Senior Airman Robert M. Sheehan III (USAF) and a doting grandfather to Genesis, Keira, Hanz, and Matheo. Bob is also survived by his beloved mother-in-law Loretta Macatangay "Inay" of the Philippines, and many nieces and nephews.
Bob will be sorely missed by his siblings Michael Sheehan and his wife Evelyn of Quincy, MA, Jimmy Sheehan of Galway, Ireland, Elaine Patton and her husband Steve of Ketchikan, AK, Paul Sheehan and his wife Kathleen of Arlington, MA, and Peter Sheehan and his wife Joan of Stoneham, MA.
Bob was a proud lifer (22 years) in the United States Air Force, retiring in 2003 as a Tech Sergeant. While stationed at Lindsey Air Station in Wiesbaden, Germany, he met the love of his life, Cecilia. Married for 32 years, they were hopelessly devoted to each other. Together they raised four amazing and successful sons, three of whom followed Bob’s footsteps into the US Armed Forces.
Bob was an accomplished sketch artist, never without his pencils and pad. He had an encyclopedic knowledge of both music (Rock and Blues) and cinema. He supplied his siblings with hundreds of mix tapes over the years. A film recommendation and a Dad Joke were always on the tip of his tongue.
