Bob was born on November 8, 1943 in Brooklyn, NY to the late Alfred and Rose (Mundy) Butler. He retired from the New York City Transit Authority, where he worked as a superintendent. Bob enjoyed traveling, golfing, dining out, but his greatest joy came from his granddaughters. He was raised as a Catholic and was a great role model for his family, through hard work and living out his faith. In addition to his parents, Bob was preceded in death by several siblings.
Left to cherish his memory is his daughter: Debra Butler of Key West, FL; son: Michael P. Butler (Donna) of Warner Robins, GA; granddaughters: Abigail Butler and Bella Butler; sister: Suzanne Anthonsen of Vancouver, Canada; brother: Billy Butler (Dori) of Staten Island, NY; several nieces and nephews.
With honor, Burpee-Scott Memorial Chapel & Crematory has been entrusted with arrangements.
