Robert “Bobby G” Gulezian, passed away at home on July 7, 2022, at the age of 88 from a long battle with Carcinoid cancer.
He enlisted in the United States Navy, where he was honorably discharged September 28, 1960 after serving on the USS Essex. He married the love of his life on September 8, 1962. Robert worked at Boeing for 42 years in Quality Control. He was always so proud to see the Chinook helicopters flying although he often said, “I don’t know how they fly because they shouldn’t fly at all.”
Robert loved Phillies baseball and Duke Blue Devils basketball. One of his true passions was the game of softball. “Bobby G” played over 3,000 softball games during his career, which ended when he put his bat to rest at the age of 81.
Dad loved to coach softball and basketball. He was never more proud to have been the coach of the St. Gregory’s Armenian basketball team, the CYAA girls’ softball team and the girls’ softball team at Our Lady of Fatima. “Bobby G” also coached a basketball team for Special Olympics Delaware with his daughter, Dawn, winning a Silver, and 3 Gold Medals.
