Bob was a member of St. John’s Lutheran Church with his mother and brother while living in Middletown, NY. Uncle Bob was loved by his family and brought joy to those who had ever spent time with him. He had a smile that would light up the room. His love for his family is a legacy that he has been passed on to his family as well as his caregivers at Ridgebury House. Uncle Bob’s great sense of humor made many family get to-gethers, times to cherish. His loving family that remains are his sister Joan Apko DeBeauvernet of Middletown, NY and brother Dennis Apko of Middletown, NY.
