Robert (Bobby) DeNardo Sr.

On Monday, Dec. 22, 2014, our blessed Lord decided he needed another angel, so he opened up the gates of heaven, and brought home our beloved Robert (Bobby) DeNardo Sr.

This kind, gentle, humble man who loved God and his family more than words can describe, fought through unimaginable battles and adversities, in which he demonstrated his relentless strength and will to live. We were all very blessed to have him 8 years longer, after defeating pancreatic cancer. Bob was a quiet man but had a humor that surprised many when they least expected it.

A dedicated police officer for over 32 years, Bob rose through the ranks obtaining the position of Chief of Police of the Bradley Beach Police department in 1992. He was also a member of the Bradley Beach Fire Department, among many other civil organizations.

Born on Feb. 24, 1953, he is survived by his loving family; His loving and adoring wife, Donna Siciliano DeNardo; his children, daughter, Abigail DeNardo-Taylor and husband Nick, son, Robert Jr. and wife Johanna, daughters, Erin, Courtney, Sara Miller, and son, Matthew Miller, his grandchildren, Brayden, Makena, and Kai Noa Taylor, and grandchildren, Sophia and Jake DeNardo; brothers, George DeNardo and wife Joann, Anthony DeNardo and wife Patricia, several nieces and nephews; his close friends, Jim, Walter, Bob and Louie; his former wife, Patricia Oliver and husband Paul, and finally his best friend and faithful companion, Duro.

A viewing will be held from 4 to 8 p.m. Friday, Dec. 26 at the Ely Funeral Home. Mass and memorial service will be held at 10 a.m. Saturday, Dec. 27 at Church of Ascension, 501 Brinley Ave., Bradley Beach. In lieu of flowers, please send donations to Hope Lodge NYC, Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, or the Lustgarten Foundation. Condolences may also be made online at www.elyfuneralhome.com.
