Obituary for Robert Edmund Gendron
Robert Edmund Gendron (Bob) 85 of Burlington went to be with his Lord and Savior on February 23, 2021. Bob was born a twin with his brother Richard on July 4, 1935, to William & May Gendron.
He attended Nazareth Middle School and graduated from Cathedral High School in 1955. He later took computer classes at CCV. He joined the Vermont Army National Guards where he spent 30 dedicated years. After retiring from the Guards he worked at Cassler's Toys for many years before he went to work for Chittenden Bank where he retired for good. Bob was a longtime parishioner of St. Francis Xavier Church. He was a member of the CB Radio Patrol Club and a Third and Fourth Degree member of Knights of Columbus.
Bob was a die-hard N.Y. Yankees and N.Y. Giants fan. He loved watching all the games as well as reading, writing, putting model cars together, and most of all he loved anything that had to do with trains. Bob was a longtime resident of Winooski but resided at Birchwood Terrace where he lived out the rest of his life. He is survived by a very special aunt who was like a sister to him, Marion Howard, and numerous nieces, nephews, and cousins. He was "Uncle Bob" to many, many people, family or not.
He was predeceased by his parents William & May Gendron, sister Rose Gendron, twin brother Richard & his wife Pauline Gendron, brother William & his wife Louise Gendron, niece Lori & her husband Ronnie Latulippe, nephew Michael Trask and many of aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews, and cousins.
Due to Covid-19 the family will be holding a cremation ceremony in the spring when it is safer for family and friends to get together. Arrangements are under the care of LaVigne Funeral Home and Cremation Service.
