Robert Francis Sapienza, 69, of Newtown, beloved husband, father, and brother, was called to his eternal resting place on November 5. Robert was born in Lawrence, Mass., to the late John and Mary Winifred Sapienza. Bob was married to his lifelong love, Mary Donna Sapienza, with whom he enjoyed 44 years of marriage.

Bob lived a full life as a world traveler, veteran, successful businessman, and family man. He is most remembered by his children as a kind man who inspired others with his integrity, honesty, and gentle spirit. Bob’s family will remember him as a man who was well liked by all, always caring for those around him, and selfless with his actions. In later years he especially enjoyed playing with his young grandchildren, Lucas and Caiden. He was a great lover of the outdoors; enjoyed yearly trips with his family to York, Maine; and took great pride in his home projects and yard work. Bob was an active member and Scoutmaster of the local Boy Scout Troop 370, which he enjoyed with his sons, passing on lessons of hard work, leadership, and respect.

Robert is survived by his wife, Mary Donna Sapienza; daughter, Lisa Sapienza-Girard, and her husband, Robert Girard; son Stephen Sapienza and his wife, Nikki Sapienza; son John Sapienza; son Evan Sapienza; grandchildren, Lucas and Caiden Sapienza; his sister, Sandra Loomis; his brother, Michael Sapienza; and many nieces and nephews.

He was laid to rest in Newtown during a private service.
