Robert A. Porlick

With great sadness, the family of Robert A. “Bob” Porlick announces his passing on Friday, November 6, 2020, at the age of 93 years, in Aberdeen, NJ.
Born in Chicago, IL, on May 24, 1927, he had fond memories of his early years in Dayton, MI, before he moved to Miami, FL (“The Capitol of the Western Hemisphere”) as a child. Proud Navy Veteran (PO1), graduate of Riverside Military Academy and Purdue University (BSEE), Master Electrician, Electrical Engineer Extraordinaire, Master Storyteller, Slayer of Fish and Terror of Lobsters, Lover of Life, his gregariousness and good humor earned him many friends, and his passing leaves a large hole in the world.

He is survived by his children Susan Holley, Kathleen Abrams and companion Lee Duttkin, Thomas Porlick and wife Debbie; his grandchildren Marie Chandler and husband Nolan, David Abrams and wife Rachell, Lauren Abrams and husband Dan, Thomas Porlick, Melissa Porlick; and his great-granddaughter Morgan Chandler.
