Robert “Bob” G. Healy

Robert “Bob” G. Healy of Milton, MA., died peacefully, on December 13^th, 2020.  He was 95.

Bob was born to the late Thomas Bernard Healy, and Alice E. (Condry) Healy, of Boston, on July 27^th, 1925.

Bob was a humble and peaceful man, with a “witty” sense of humor.  He never missed a chance to bring laughter to family and friends.

He was a very loving and devoted son, who spent many years caring for his parents.

Bob built a cottage in Scituate, MA. for his parents and siblings. They, along with their families, enjoyed many summers there on the coast.

He always enjoyed visits to the oceanside. He was an avid swimmer, and also enjoyed walking and sitting on the beach, taking in everything around him. He had several opportunities to travel to exotic islands with friends.  He also enjoyed bowling and watching ball games on T.V.

Bob was employed in the banking business in Boston until retirement, and then resided as a homeowner in Milton for many years.  He was a very generous man and regularly donated to many charities.

He was a devoted and active member of Saint Elizabeth Parish in Milton.

In later years, he resided at Winter Valley Senior Center in Milton.  There, he is fondly remembered for his friendliness and participation in many social activities.  He also spent his free time, as well as many holidays, visiting with close friends on Cape Cod.
