Robert (Bob) Fulgoni, 75, passed away at VNA Hospice House in Vero Beach, Florida on January 9, 2022.
Born October 31, 1946, in Manhattan, NY, he was the son of the late Charles and Julia Fulgoni. A graduate of Power Memorial High School, Iona College, and Brooklyn Polytechnic School, Bob worked managing the manufacturing of pharmaceutical and personal care products.
He worked in the lawn and garden department of Target after his retirement. Bob met his wife, the former Pat Fecenko, while he and she were working for Bristol Myers. Upon their marriage in 1981, he embraced a new ten-year-old daughter, Amy, and a herd of Irish-Ukrainian relatives. Bob and Pat lived in New Jersey, Ohio, and Nevada before retiring to Vero Beach.
They made many “trips of a lifetime,” including a thirty-day cruise from Sydney to Los Angeles, three Panama Canal cruises, and five transatlantic cruises. Until her passing in 2014, Bob’s cousin Julie Longinotti and her husband, Gino, Bob’s friend since kindergarten, joined Bob and Pat on these trips.
In addition to his wife, Pat; daughter, Amy Taylor; son-in-law, Corey Marks; and granddaughter, Madeleine Taylor-Marks, Bob is survived by his brother, Richard Fulgoni; sister-in-law, Joann; nephew, Jason; other cousins, and Pat’s sisters, brother, their spouses, and many nieces and nephews.

Bob was our good friend for 16 years. During this time he had the compassion for making people around him happy. He volunteered
for many social events such as keeping our failing poker club going, when the Elks need more Clowns for their parade Bob was there
for the laughs he provided for others, when you wanted to hear about the Yankee’s he could give you the name and position of
every player , when you needed a ride, you got it. The gentle giant meant so much to so many whose memories of the good times
we will always cherish and never forget. It is often said that being being associated with happy people enhances and lengthens
your life. Bob, completed that mission and we are so blessed we had that that relationship. God Bless
Love, Jim and Patti

We weren’t lifetime friends but in the time that we did know Pat and (Bob) we enjoyed (Bob)‘s sense of humor, his wit, and his knowledge on any subject you wanted to bring up. He will be sadly missed by all of his good friends. God be with Pat during this troubling time – may her memories bring her comfort.
Good friends never say Goodbye- they simply say…. “See you soon”!

Bob and I grew up together in Manhattan and were childhood friends. We lost contact with each other after high school but I have so many memories of us playing basketball in the park on York Avenue with Billy Mandella, Richie Gallagher and all the gang. Good times. Sorry to hear of his passing. My condolences to his family.

Bob and I were childhood friends. We grew up together in Manhattan in a circle of close families and friends. Although we lost touch with each other after high school, I still remember fondly all the good times we had way back then. It seems just like yesterday that we were playing basketball together at the little park on York Avenue and 61st street. My condolences to the entire family.
