Robert F. Pannella

Pannella, Robert F., of Randolph, formerly of Quincy, died August 30, 2014. 

Robert’s family was his life, especially his adorable granddaughters.  He and his wife enjoyed traveling, but Bob’s favorite destinations were Las Vegas and Foxwoods.  He was also a spirited Boston sports fan.  A Korean War veteran, with the United States Air Force, he credits his service with putting him on the proper path of education and career skills.  He will be remembered as a quick-witted gentleman who was a perfectionist and could fix anything with his hands.  His humble manner and strong intellect will be greatly missed. 

Beloved husband of Ruth (Deschenes) Pannella of Randolph.  Loving father of Laurie Pannella and her husband Michael LaBonte of Quincy, Lisa Pannella and her husband David Tancredi of Wakefield, and William Pannella and his wife Rebecca Nash Pannella of Portsmouth, NH.  Cherished “Bubba” to Ryan and Norah Nash Pannella.  Brother of William Pannella of Sudbury and Carmella Mack of Framingham.  Uncle of Cheryl Fraser of Framingham.
