Robert F Nealon, PGK
December 16, 1935 – February 2, 2020
Robert Francis Nealon, beloved husband, father, grandfather, great-grandfather, brother and friend passed away on Sunday, February 2, 2020. Robert (or Bob to his friends, which were many) was an Irish-Catholic gentleman in the purest sense.
He was born and raised in Queens Village, N.Y. to William Joseph Nealon and Mary Ahern. Bob served his country honorably in the United States Army from 1953 to 1956. After leaving the military, Bob went to work for the New York Telephone company where he remained for 42 years before retiring. During his retirement, he was often found putting less fortunate players to shame at the Douglaston Golf Course.
In 1957 he met and fell in love with Regina Ann Weston. The two were married on September 12, 1959. They spent the 60+ years married raising family, making wonderful memories while sharing the experiences of their children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren.
A diehard NY Mets, Giants and Rangers fan, Bob always welcomed conversation and camaraderie that came with rooting for his favorite team.
He is survived by his wife Regina, his brother Francis and his wife Jane and his sister-in-law Ann. He is also survived by his children; his son Robert Jr. and his wife Cynthia, daughter Virginia, son Patrick and his wife Kathleen, son Sean and his wife Veronica, son Christopher and his wife Anne, Son Matthew and his wife Kathleen and his daughter Mary Myles and her husband David.
Bob was also the proud grandfather of Jessica and her husband Vincent, Caroline, Elizabeth, Brianna Timothy, Shannon, Christopher, John, Brian, Sean, Stephen, Anna, Mairead, Mateo and Caitlin.
Bob was also survived by three great-grand children Nicholas, Robert and Aisling.
Bob, from your extended family at Saint Anne’s you and your family will always remain in our prayers. May you rest in peace. Until we meet again, may God hold you in the hollow of his hand.
