Please Help Support Our Dearest Friends during their loss

Bobby was a great friend, father and spouse. Bobby worked hard for his family despite being badly injured while in Operation Iraq Freedom.

His family is going through a lot at this time financially and emotionally for certain. Anything would help them maybe have some relief perhaps knowing financially their bills are paid through this rough time and ease the stress of being a sole provider and uncertainty of the future.

Please remember holidays are just right around the corner, the kids and Tonia are going to need all the support they can get through this difficult time.

Robert Gulino Obituary

Robert L. “Bobby” Gulino, 44, of Franklinville, passed away suddenly on Sunday, November 17, 2024.

Bobby was a true patriot who served his country honorably as a soldier in the U.S. Army. He was a veteran of Operation Iraqi Freedom, serving multiple tours in Iraq during some of the war’s most turbulent times. While Bobby’s service in the Army ended in 2008, his love for his country endured and was part of the very fabric of his being. That love was matched only by his love for his family, especially his three children. Bobby was a doting father, who would do anything for his children and loved spending time with them. He loved to take them fishing, cheer them on at sporting events, or work on cars with them. They were his world: a world he built with his one true love and high school sweetheart, Tonia. Bobby and Tonia grew up together and, as they grew, so did their love. For 25 years, they dedicated themselves to each other and their family, tackling life’s challenges together, unconditionally loving each other, and making each other whole.

Bobby was happiest with his family, including his and Tonia’s extended families. He loved to sit around the dinner table eating good food, telling stories, bantering, and making people laugh. He was the quintessential jokester and storyteller, who continually tried to bring levity and light to everyone around him.

He also was a beautiful soul who loved and accepted everyone. He looked past a person’s scars or rough exterior, seeing only the person’s quality of character. He treated people with respect and was generous to all. He would go out of his way to make people happy by offering his time, talent, or the shirt off his back, as he knew the value of such kindness, having lived through tough times himself and emerging stronger. Bobby had an infectious grin that would light up a room and couldn’t help but make you smile. While Bobby has passed on, his legacy of patriotism, love, kindness, acceptance, and happiness will live on through the lives of all he touched.
