Bob Waugh Obituary, Bob Waugh has died

Bob Waugh Obituary, Death – Robert W. WAUGH, age 95, passed away on July 29 in Harwich, Massachusetts, after a long and happy life. Bob began his life in Andover, Massachusetts, despite the fact that he was born in Boston on April 12th, 1928. In 1946, he obtained his diploma from Governor Dummer Academy, and in 1948, he graduated from Bowdoin College with a bachelor’s degree in economics.

After that, he attended the University of Massachusetts Lowell to earn his master’s degree in textiles from that institution. Bob served as a Lieutenant in the United States Air Force Air Material Command at Wright Patterson Air Force Base in Dayton, Ohio, during the middle of the 1950s. After he got out of the Air Force, he started working as a Technical Service Representative for E.I. Dupont de Nemours in Wilmington, Delaware.

The department he worked in was for textile fibers. In 1962, he started working at Huyck Felt Company in Rensselaer, New York, where he eventually became the manager of the Technical Service Group and the Product Manager for the felts that were supplied to the paper industry. After Bob and his devoted wife, Debby, raised their four children in Delmar, New York, where they lived for many years, they eventually retired to Cape Cod and settled there permanently.

His favorite things to do included taking evening swims in Nantucket sound, swimming with his wife, eating lobster bodies, oysters, and cod that he had prepared in his own unique way, and of course, having his house full of his family. He also enjoyed taking evening walks on the beach with his wife at his side. In addition, Bob was a member of the Allen Harbor Yacht Club and attended services at St. Christopher’s Church in Chatham, Massachusetts.

Bob was a wonderful gentleman who devoted his life to his big family, serving as a doting husband, father, grandpa, and great-grandfather to members of all of those generations. His presence as patriarch at family gatherings, despite the fact that he was a reserved and unassuming guy with a dry but extremely warm sense of humor, made each occasion memorable and full of laughter. He had his fair share of hardships during his long life, but he never gave up and never stopped showing love to his wife Debby, his children, and all of his other loved ones.
