Robert James Sershen

Born on April 29, 1950, in Derby, CT, Robert was the son of the late Joseph and Lucy (Givencusky) Sershen. He was a devoted family man, a proud father, and a cherished grandfather, known for his strong work ethic and his loyalty to his family and friends. He lifted people up and everyone that knew him loved him.

Robert worked for many years as a manager at Aetna Insurance and Casualty, where he earned the respect and admiration of his colleagues. Outside of his career, Robert had a variety of passions that brought him joy. An avid golfer, he could often be found at the range perfecting his swing. He took great pride in caring for his home and lawn, always ensuring everything was in perfect order. A true sports fan, Robert was a devoted supporter of the NY Giants and NY Yankees, and he never missed a game of the UConn Ladies' Huskies basketball team, always cheering them on with enthusiasm. He was also a dedicated reader of anything historical.

Robert found great joy in spending time with his family and friends. His warmth, humor, and love of camaraderie made him a treasured presence at gatherings. Robert (aka Bob, the Fonz, Sersh, and Bobcat) leaves behind a legacy of love and laughter that will live on in the hearts of all who knew him.

Besides his loving wife Linda, Robert is survived by his three sons: Scott Sershen and his wife Megan Hornbecker, Daniel Sershen and his wife Erin Finnerty, and Michael Sershen and his wife Cynthia. He is also survived by his six grandchildren: Connor, Alayna, Luke, Maeve, Nika, and Jules, who brought him immeasurable joy. Robert is also survived by his brother Leonard Sershen and his wife Jeannie. He was predeceased by his brother Joseph.
