Bob lived a life marked by hard work, perseverance, and devotion to those closest to him.
Throughout his career, Bob wore many hats, spending years working as a contractor before building a career in HVAC sales engineering. His professional journey reflected his strong work ethic, versatility, and determination.
An avid sports fan, Bob proudly cheered on his beloved New York Jets and New York Mets, remaining loyal to his teams through the wins, losses, and everything in between.
Since 2023, Bob bravely battled stage IV cancer, facing his illness with courage, strength, and determination. His resilience throughout those years reflected the fighting spirit he carried throughout his life.
Bob was preceded in death by his parents, Stephen Benard and Frances (Morelli) Rybka, and his beloved sister, Frances “Frannie”.
He is survived by his loving wife, Judith “Judy” (Cammarano) Rybka; his son, Stephen “Steve”; his cherished grandchildren; and extended family and friends who will forever treasure the memories they shared.
Above all, Bob will be remembered for the love he shared, the relationships he nurtured, and the lasting impression he made on those fortunate enough to know him. His memory will live on in the hearts of those he leaves behind.
A private cremation will take place, with a celebration of Bob's life to be held in spring 2027. Additional details will be shared at a later date.
In lieu of flowers, the family kindly requests that donations be made to St. Jude Children's Research Hospital in memory of Robert Rybka, honoring his wishes and supporting a cause close to his heart.
Forever loved, forever remembered, and always Pop-Pop.
