Robert D. Aron

Bob was born and raised in Newtonville, MA. A graduate of Roxbury Latin High School, he completed his undergraduate degree at Columbia University (’67) and graduate and doctoral degrees at the University of Connecticut (’72).

After graduation, Bob started a part-time private practice as a clinical psychologist in West Hartford, CT. Three years later, he moved to the Cape and established his successful full-time private practice in W.Dennis and W.Harwich.

Dr. Bob loved his profession. He shared his expertise and passion throughout the greater Cape Cod community; some of his many accomplishments include his work with Cape Cod Regional Technical High School, Harwich; Massachusetts Rehabilitation Commission, Hyannis; Nauset Regional High School District, Orleans; Harwich School; Dennis-Yarmouth Regional School District; Angel House; Habitat Management; South Shore Mental Health, Orleans; Latham’s School, Brewster; Lower Cape Human Services, Orleans; Division of Youth Services, Brewster Forestry Camp; Habilitation Assistance Corporation, Pocasset; Catholic Social Services, Hyannis; DARE School, Mashpee; Whitehall Manor Nursing Home, Hyannis.

Dr. Bob also held several professional workshops and was an established writer. He published several professional articles; however, his favorite writings were his personal cover stories and monthly column: “Can you Relate” published in Cape Cod Times Prime Time Magazine.

Bob’s family lovingly describe him as a calm, gentle man; a thoughtful peacemaker; an active listener and not so active athlete who was quick to share a favorite joke – over and over, yet slow to share his favorite deserts always involving chocolate.. a puzzle master and Zen wantabe; the best picker of bad movies.

Bob adored his family and was defined by his desire to help others through his work.

He is predeceased by his father Herbert J. Aron. In addition to his wife Joyce, Bob is survived by his mother Lotte (Salomon) Aron of Peabody, MA; sons David Aron (Becky) of Washington, DC; Ben Aron (Jennifer) of Bethesda, MA and their children Joseph, Johnny, Kate, Cole and Eden; step-daughter Susan Keevers of Yarmouth Port, MA and daughter Gianna McCarthy; step-son Richard Keevers (Karen) of Providence, RI and their children Alexa and Julia and brother Ron Aron (Jetta) of Boxford, MA and their children Gabriella and Daniella.
