Born on July 26, 1953, in Stamford, Connecticut, Bob lived his life with unwavering dedication to those he loved.
His smile was infectious – brightening every room he entered, even if it may have gotten him in trouble when he was younger at school. He would strike up a conversation with everyone he met, making strangers feel like old friends. His kindness was insurmountable, and he wouldn’t hesitate to go out of his way for any of his family or friends.
Bob was a devoted husband to his wife of 44 years, Noreen. Together, they built an incredible life, grounded in laughter and love. He was also a devoted father to his daughters, Amanda and Ashley. No matter their ages, he was always there offering unconditional love and support. His saying was “family first.” His heart grew even more when he was blessed with four granddaughters, Siena, McKenna, Alexis and Hailey. He spoiled them as only their grandpa could – with ice cream!
Robert is survived by his wife, Noreen Farrell Raus; his daughter, Amanda Raus and her husband Todd Piro and their daughters, McKenna and Alexis; his daughter, Ashley Flattery and her husband Andrew Flattery and their daughters, Siena and Hailey. He is also survived by his brother, Dr. John Raus and his wife, Joanne; his sister, Maria Politica, her husband, Steve; and many nieces, nephews, cousins and in-laws.
He was predeceased by his father, John; his mother, Matilda; and his brother, Donald.
Bob made an impact on those lucky enough to know him, and his family and friends will miss him dearly.
