Robert "Bob" Joseph Winters, Jr., 92, of Ormond Beach, FL, formerly of East Setauket, NY, slipped away peacefully on November 15, 2019. He was born in September 9, 1927 in Brooklyn, NY to Robert and Emma Winters.
Bob was a member of the Police Benevolent Association of Nassau County, Retired Police Association of the State of NY, Association of Retired Police Officers, the American Legion Post 267, and the Disabled American Veterans. He is a Veteran of the United States Navy.
Bob joins his daughters, Lucretia and Barbara, and his parents, Robert and Emma, in Heaven. He leaves behind his beloved wife of 68 years, Lucretia, to cherish his memory. Bob is also survived by his loving daughters, Susan House (husband, Field) and Doreen Winters; 8 grandchildren; 7 great-grandchildren; and his brother, James Winters of AZ.
Bob was a loving husband, father, grandfather, and great-grandfather. He was a friend to everyone that knew him.
After working as a Police Officer for 20 years, Bob enjoyed his retirement. He loved carving and woodworking. He spent his free time watching old movies on TV and could always point out the actors and actresses he remembered. He also loved to watch tennis and knew the stats and rankings of all the players. Most of all, Bob always had a soft spot for animals, especially dogs.
