Robert “Bob” J. DeSalvio, 93, passed away peacefully on April 18, 2022 in Vero Beach, Florida.

He was born again at the age 90 at the Faith Baptist Church. He enjoyed a quiet life spent with family and friends. He also enjoyed fishing, playing tennis, golfing, and spending time at the lake. Bob was the cool breeze, calm in the storm, and everyone’s go-to guy.
