Obituary for Robert Andrew "Bob" Myer
Robert A. Myer, 48, beloved husband of Elizabeth (Studley) Myer, died unexpectedly on May 4, 2016 at his home in Newtown. Bob had been a resident of Newtown for the past 11 years and grew up in Westport. He was born on September 11, 1967 in Norwalk, the son of the late James and Evelyn Link Myer. He was a graduate of Staples High School and Sacred Heart University.
Bob served the Westport community, his hometown, with honor and distinction for more than 23 years as a member of the Westport Police Department. He joined the department as an intern in 1991 and was hired as a full time officer in 1992. He was promoted to the rank of Corporal in 2014 and to the rank of Sergeant in 2015. Upon receiving this promotion he was assigned as a supervisor in the Patrol Division. Bob loved police work and most recently served as a member of the Newtown Police Commission.
Besides his wife, Beth, he is survived by his beautiful daughter, Lindsay, along with daughter Amber and son, Robert, Jr. as well as step-children, Emily and Brian Montoya. The youngest of six children, he is also survived by three brothers, Edward (Gail), Richard (Laura) and David (Karen) and a sister Elizabeth Petroni (Kevin). His brother, James (Laura) pre-deceased him. Bob also leaves behind six nieces and nephews.
An avid outdoorsman, Bob loved nothing better than patrolling Long Island Sound in the Westport Police cruiser or leading the Westport dive team when called upon. He was also an excellent and talented carpenter who loved to work with his hands.
The family will receive friends at the Honan Funeral Home, 58 Main Street, Newtown on Monday, May 9, 2016 from 4 to 8 pm. A Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated on Tuesday, May 10, 2016 at 11 am at St. Rose of Lima Church, Church Hill Road, Newtown. Interment will be private.
