Bob was loved by his wife Gayle. He is survived by his daughter Lynda Emlock of Aberdeen, NJ, son Robert Hicks of Chelmsford, MA, stepdaughter Amybeth Kasinskas of Nashua, NH and brother Jim Hicks of New Ipswich, NH.
Bob grew up in Watertown, MA and was educated in Electrical Engineering. He spent most of his career in sales in the electronics field, which enabled him to travel extensively. Upon retirement, Bob became a professional guardian, advocating and assisting elderly and disabled people.
Bob was loved and respected in his community. Bob was spiritual and smart and always ready to offer advice and resources. He was involved in Amateur Radio, as a lifetime member of ARRL, callsign W1BH, having earned his license in 1955. He was a friend of Bill W. for 30 years, and a great friend to all who joined the fellowship.
He was kind, patient, and generous in all ways. He will be missed by many. All who knew him are better for it.
