Robert James Crudele – 76

Passed away peacefully with his children by his side on January 29, 2023.

His siblings Joy Verbridge, Chuck (Casey) Crudele, Vinnie (Doris) Crudele, as well as his sister-in-laws Donna Crudele, Jean Crudele and Liza Crudele.

Bob was a proud United States Navy veteran and retiree of Eastman Kodak Emulation Coating.

  9. I am so sorry for the passing of one great man, he will be greatly missed. I might not of known him long but for sure if I had a brother I would of wanted him just like Bob. Bob was a quiet man but he was there to listen and state his thought in few words. He always looked and watched others, even if he was quiet you could tell he was listening and knew everything going on.
    Remember Bob with all those good times and the laughs and smiles as he will be greatly missed in person but he will be there with the family forever. He will be there as that bright star at night in the sky or the rainbow after the rain, or even the butterfly or carndinal that comes flying by, but maybe that soft breeze on your cheek. Bob will let you know he is there to watch and see and keep you all safe.
    Many hugs and Love to all the family! Love Doris and Vinnie Crudele
