Robert "Bob" Allen

Robert J Allen died peacefully on January 3, 2026 of natural causes. "Bob" as he was known to all, was born in Jersey City, NJ on March 6, 1934. Bob lived in Jersey City in his early years, graduating from Synder high school and and received his bachelor's degree in Engineering from the Newark College of Engineering, today better known as NJIT (New Jersey Institute of Technology). After graduation from NJIT, Bob took a job as an engineer with General Foods where he spent over 40 years in their chemical foods division. During his time at General Foods, Bob had the opportunity to travel, spending extensive time in both Fresno California and Battle Creek and Kalamazoo Michigan. He migrated from Jersey city, ultimately settling down in Greenwich CT, where he spent the most time during his adult life. Bob volunteered for the town of Greenwich, serving in a number of roles within the borough's administrative offices. Bob was also a devoted Catholic and a member of the Sacred Heart Parish community.

When not working, Bob spent his time on the ski slopes, especially on his favorite resort of Alta in Utah. Bob and his intrepid friends spent many a day on the slopes at Alta, followed by evenings of great conversation and good Cabernet wine at the local dining establishments. Bob was a die hard fan of both the Mets and NY Giants football having season tickets for both for many years. He was also a history buff, and avid reader and fascinated by genealogy, spending hours researching the roots of his family history. Bob spent the last few years of his life at the Mews in Greenwich enjoying times with his friends and family.

Bob is survived by his cousins John & Jacqueline DeMarrais of Bernardsville, NJ, Marge DeMarrais of Sharon CT, Christina Errickson of Harrisburg PA and Edward DeMarrais of Needham MA.

A memorial service is planned for April 13, 2026 at 10AM at the Mews 1/2 Bolling Place Greenwich CT.
