Robert A. Kent, 57, of Coventry, died on 9/19/2015, surrounded by his family and good friend Wayne, after an 18 month battle with esophageal cancer. He fought this battle with dignity and courage to the end, the same as he lived his life, and always with his great sense of humor. Bob is survived by his wife Nancy (Foulton), of 27 years, his three children Andrew, Jeffrey, and Kelliann, whom he cherished, as they did him. Bob was the son of the late Robert W. Kent and Barbara Kelly and the brother of Susan Owen of Ohio. Bob was a senior design engineer at Picor for the past fourteen years, previously employed at Cherry Semi Conductor. Anyone in his professional or personal life has been privileged and honored to have known a man with such integrity. Relatives and friends are invited to visit with Bob's family on Tuesday, September 22, 2015 from 4:00 to 8:00 pm, in the Russell J. Boyle & Son Funeral Home, 142 Centerville Road, Warwick, with cremation to follow. A celebration of life will be held at a later date.
