Born in Williston Park, Bob was a proud 1949 graduate of Saint Dominic High School in Oyster Bay. After high school, Bob went on to serve his country in the US Navy during the Korean War. During his career, Bob was a sales manager for the Long Island Railroad, but was very happy to have been retired longer than he worked. Bob served on the West Babylon School Board and was a faithful parishioner of Saint Joseph's RC Church in Babylon. He was a college basketball enthusiast and never missed a "call to post" at Tampa Bay Downes, but frequently had to "turn the page." A life filled with the love of family and friends, Bob will be forever loved and deeply missed by each life that he touched. Family will receive friends at Claude R. Boyd-Spencer Funeral Home, 448 W. Main Street, Babylon, Wednesday, March 4, 2026, 2:00 pm-7:00 pm. Funeral mass 10:15 am Thursday, March 5, 2026, St. Joseph's RC Church, 39 N. Carll Avenue, Babylon.
