G. Warren Bober

G. Warren Bober, 92, of Sandwich, formerly of Braintree and Hyde Park, beloved husband of Anita (Quintiliani) Bober, passed away on Tuesday, April 11, 2017. He was born in Boston on July 30, 1924, to Rudolph and Ursula Bober.

Mr. Bober was a World War II Navy veteran and served on the USS Portunus, as well as on the maiden voyage of the USS Midway. Warren retired as the Buzzards Bay Railroad Bridge superintendent, where he was in charge of controlling and maintaining the structure and coordinating the ship traffic with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.
