Poolnauth "Bobby" Hiraprashad, age 75, of Wethersfield, Connecticut passed away on Wednesday, April 24, 2024. Bobby was born in Clonbrook, Guyana. He grew up to become a captain of the high seas. Bobby loved fishing, gardening, wrestling and being out on the water. He was married for over 52 years. Coming home from a long day's work and seeing his kids waiting up for him made his night. He worked so hard to give his wife and their children a good life. He had a kind soul and a forgiving heart. Almost 30 years ago, he settled in the US. Bobby was an amazing cook who loved teaching his grandchildren different recipes. He loved to joke with his grandchildren about having 12 birthdays, and he always expected a present! Everyone loved, admired, and respected him. His kids would like to say thank you - for all the sacrifices you made and the hard work, time, effort and late nights you put in to give us a good life. Bobby is survived by: his wife Vidya Hiraprashad, his children Devi Butler, Ganesh Hiraprashad, Ramesh Hiraprashad and Sandra Hiraprashad, his grandchildren Vidya Sagendorf, Lilo Piel, Roxanne Jacobs, and Isabella Kozlowski, and his great grandchildren, Elias Cardona and Azalea Cardona. He is preceded by his son, Devram Hiraprashad.
