Obituary for Robert Joseph "Bob" Attanasio
Robert “Bob” Attanasio went to his heavenly home on April 24, 2021 at the age of 60. His devotion to his family and his firm belief in God supported him and ultimately gave him peace.
Bob is survived by his wife of 37 years, Lea; his parents, Bob and Judy; his siblings, Cathy, David, and Richard; his children, Bobby Jr., Christie Lea (Matt), Sarah Michelle; his grandchildren, Eliza Lea and James Robert; as well as numerous other relatives and dear friends.
After graduating from Bucknell University, where he met his wife and best friend, Bob began his business career including time at Dictaphone, UCAN, and most recently, Hallmark Health Care Solutions, where he served as the Chief Financial Officer.
Bob was honored to serve as the president of the American Heart Association (AHA) for the tri-state area for three years. The mission of the AHA is to find treatment and a cure for the disease that he battled. Memorial donations in his name may be made online to the American Heart Association at www.heart.org.
Bob loved life and especially the people in it. While his life was far too short, those who knew him understood that the quality of existence far exceeds the quantity of time in which one lives. Bob had a way of bringing out the best in everyone and making them feel like they were his best friend.
Bob lived life to the fullest. He enjoyed skiing, being outdoors, traveling, soccer, driving his tractor, and fine wine, but his greatest pride and joy was his family.
A celebration of Bob’s life will be held in the summer, with more information to come. Plan to wear bright clothing and prepare to celebrate a very happy life filled with joy and gratitude.
The family wishes to send a special thank you for the outpouring of love and support that they have received for their son, brother, father, husband.
