Robert Allen Kositsky (Bob) - age 85 - passed away peacefully on July 26, 2024.

Bob was a loving, hard-working, and quick-witted man. He was known for his seriousness, yet his dry sense of humor never failed to produce laughs. He enjoyed traveling, lazy weekend mornings, playing pranks on his family and co-workers, and relaxing with his fur babies, Buddy and Zooey.

Born in Cincinnati, Ohio, on August 22nd,1939, he was the son of Stanley Kositsky and Sylvia Karsh. In 1953, his family moved to Buffalo, New York where he graduated from Amhurst High School in 1957, and then graduated from the University of Buffalo in 1961. He remained very proud to be a part of the Kappa Nu fraternity brotherhood. He joined the US Army Reserves in 1962 and remained enlisted for 6 years. He married his love Francine on November 26th, 1983 in Wilmington, Delaware. Bob and Fran moved to South Florida in 1984 where they built their family home in 1986, located in the Welleby community of Sunrise, Florida. They started fostering children shortly after. Bob and Fran adopted their three children, Kevin, Danielle, and Lauren in 1991. Bob worked primarily in the hospitality and customer care industries until his retirement in 2014.

Bob will be remembered for his outlandish jokes that often included food items, his love for his fraternity brothers, and his unwillingness to be without his love, Franny.
