Survived by their 5 children: Bobby, Jr., Michael, (Erica), Erin, (Ronal), Chucky, (Jazmin), and Tricia, (Jennifer).18 Cherished grandchildren, 8 great-grandchildren and numerous nieces and nephews. Brother: Michael, (Angie), Sister: Charlene, (Bob), Sister-in-Law: Suzanne.

Pre-deceased by his parents, brother BJ, and sister Joan.

Robert or Bob, as he was known by family and friends, was an avid sports fan and never passed up a chance to participate. There was nothing more fun to Bob than teaming up with his kids for baseball, bowling, fishing, and yes, golf. Bob was a man among men. He was a kind, loving, and caring family man. He showed his children and anyone that knew him what it meant to stay BRAVE AND STRONG in this, sometimes cruel world.

In our hearts, he will be alive forever.
