Robert was the beloved husband of Noreen Bagnasco (nee Leonard), with whom he shared 56 extraordinary years of marriage. Their bond was unbreakable, and they were often seen together, always attached at the hip and dressed in matching outfits, symbolizing their inseparable connection. Together, they enjoyed many happy moments, including their annual visits to Disney every November and volunteering at the US Open, embodying the spirit of service and partnership throughout their lives

In addition to his love for Noreen, Robert was a loving uncle to Pat, Jeff, Kathy, John, and Anita, and a cherished friend to Nancy, Katelyn, Kerrin, Kara, and Nancy. He was predeceased by his parents, Philip Bagnasco, Sr. and Henrietta Bagnasco, and his siblings, Reverend Philip Charles Bagnasco, Jr. and Madeline Bagnasco Cummings.
