It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of thelegendary Robert "Bob" Roscioli. Mr. Roscioli has been an icon of the marine industry and is globallyrespected for personal attention to details and outstanding service to the yachting industry at RoscioliYachting Center.
Bob built his business and made his mark as a pioneer in the South Florida marine industrywhen he started a business from nothing, using his master paint brushing skills and gained a reputation as aperfectionist. He then launched what is now a world renowned, state of the art, full service shipyard. Inthe late 1980's, he started Roscioli Donzi Yachts, building custom sportfishing yachts which was a passion of his.
Bob's mantra "Today's the Day" is the way he started every day at the yard. He could be seen walking the shipyard everymorning, preparing for the day ahead. A true friend to first responders and veterans, Bob was an advocate ofproviding jobs and teaching those who have served or needed a chance. A true legacy to the marine industry.
Mr. Roscioli leaves behind Sharon, his loving wife of 51 years, his son Robert (Traci), his daughter, Heather (Brian),and three granddaughters, Grace, Hannah and Rachel. Bob will be deeply missed by his employees, innumerablecolleagues in the yachting industry, many of whom he mentored, and the yacht owners who have depended on himfor his loyal service.
Due to the Coronavirus pandemic and out of respect to the wellbeing of Robert's family and visitors, services will be held at the convenience of the family. It can be a great comfort to a grieving person or family to hear that others thought highly of their loved one, too. If you knew and admired Bob, be sure to let the family know by writing a few words in the "Memory" section of his obituary on the Kraeer - Fairchild Funeral Home website.
