Robert Charles Virgin (Bob), 66, passed away on January 3, 2019 at the William Childs Hospice House in Palm Bay, Florida. Born in Revere, Massachusetts to Robert Virgin and Barbara (Matthews), both pre-deceased. Bob was the previous owner of Classic Automotive Repair Shop before medically retiring and selling the business to his loyal employees and good friends.
Bob will be remembered for his playful personality, generosity, humor and big smile. His love of cars prompted his lifetime career as a successful auto-mechanic. He enjoyed riding and collecting his Harley Davidsons. He had a passion for all animals but held a strong connection for his spirit animal, the wolf. He enjoyed being the “Manny” for his little buddies daily after school.
He is survived by his beloved wife, Sandy, of 38 years, daughter and son-in-law Jennifer and Joey Marrero, grandsons, Zayden and Kamden Marrero and his fur baby, Molly. He left behind his daughters in love, Eyleen Schaefer and Cecilie Steffenson. He was the oldest brother of 10 children, leaving behind brothers, John, Alan (Matthews), Scott, and Billy, sisters, Patti (Losey), Bev (Milward), Kathi (Sacco) and Cindy. He was pre-deceased by brother Curt (Jed).
