Born on January 16, 1973, Bobby grew up in Littleton, MA and was a proud union painter with IUPAT District Council 35 in Roslindale, MA.

Bobby loved fishing anywhere with his son David, Lake Matawanakee, Cape Cod, the mountains and coast of Oregon, and snowmobiling in Maine. He was a huge Jeff Gordon NASCAR fan, always cheered on the New England Patriots, and loved the music of James Taylor, Garth Brooks, The Grateful Dead, Chris Stapleton, and Ozzy Osborne. Bobby was very proud of his Scottish heritage and regularly attended the Highland Games in Lincoln, New Hampshire. Weekday mornings, you could often find him sharing coffee and stories with his buddies at “The Peach” in Littleton, and on Saturdays it was usually a flea market and a stop at Westlawn Cemetery to visit his brother David’s gravesite.

Bobby deeply loved his family, and was frequently in the crowd at sports and performance events supporting his nieces, nephews, grandnephews and grandniece.

He fought the many health battles in his life with the strength and grit of a Viking, was eternally grateful to his sister Julie who donated her kidney in his 2016 transplant, and was always there no matter what for the people he loved.

At the age of 28, Bobby’s whole world changed when he became a father to David Patrick.  David was the light of his life, his reason for being the best person he could be, and even at 21 years old was his “Baby”.

A rare human being, he will be forever loved and missed by his family and friends.

Visiting hours will be held at Blessed Trinity Parish - St. Anne Church, 75 King St., Littleton, MA on Thursday, March 16th from 4 - 7 p.m. Bobby’s Funeral Mass will be celebrated at Blessed Trinity Parish - St. Anne Church on Friday, March 17th at 10 a.m. Burial will follow in Westlawn Cemetery, Littleton.
