Bob was the middle son born to Margaret and Thomas on April 24, 1935.
He grew up in Riverdale, graduated from Cardinal Hayes High School and received his college degree from St. Joseph's Seminary.
Bob spent his career as an English teacher at Junior High School 45 in the Fordham section of the Bronx, touching hundreds of students' lives. He loved to read and go to the movies, but his greatest passion was music, especially the opera. With his beloved beagle Millie by his side, Bob enjoyed a lively retirement.
Robert will be greatly missed by his brother James, sister-in-law Eileen, their daughter Denise, nieces Kathy and Carolyn, nephew Tom, their spouses, grand nephews Michael, Harry, Sam and Jack, cousins, and friends who considered him family. A graveside service will take place on Thursday January 6th at 11am at Gate of Heaven Cemetery.
