Robert was fondly known by many names - Bobby, Bob, Bubby, Marty; but his favorite title was Papa. Bob adored his grandsons and spent much of his life cheering them on at baseball games and more. Robert enjoyed tinkering in his shed, traveling with family & friends, golfing in Vermont, playing chess with his grandsons, and eating “suppah” with his family.
Robert was best known for his sense of humor and dedicated his entire life to making others laugh. Those who loved him, knew this: the more he picked on you, the more he cared.
