Robert "Bob"

Dover chapel-

Robert "Bob" Grossman, 76, of Morris Plains, passed away on June 5, 2026. Born in Brooklyn, his family moved to King's Point, Long Island when he was twelve, but he was proudest of being a Brooklyn boy. He graduated from Ohio Northern University with a degree in Economics and a minor in History, a life-long passion. He moved to New York City after college and joined his father's electronics company, which after a series of misfortunes, the family had lost. Bob often joked that he had received an education in how to run down a business instead of how to run one. After the family's long struggle Bob overcame that hardship and with grit and determination created his own electronics business from scratch, with zero help from others. His business flourished for over thirty years. So, despite his privileged upbringing, he was truly a self-made man.

Bob was a personality. He was gregarious, a great story-teller and very, very funny. He traveled the world and because he was able to talk to anyone from any walk of life, he met many interesting people and had many out of the ordinary experiences which added to the many colorful anecdotes in his repertoire of stories.

At heart, Bob was a home-body. He loved to cook, loved the movies, enjoyed auto-biographies, historical books, and was an avid reader of The New York Times. But most of all Bob was a loyal husband, his wife's best friend, and a proud father of his daughter Alix. Pride was actually one of Bob's defining characteristics. He was proud of where he came from, his family's history and very proud of his wife's and daughter's accomplishments. He expressed that pride often and freely and in a very real way Bob's expression of his pride was his expression of his love for them.

Bob is leaving a hole in the hearts of his wife Shelley, after a marriage of thirty years, and his beautiful twenty-two year-old daughter Alix.

"Bob, you're the best"

Graveside services will be Sunday, June 7th, at 1:30 at New Montefiore Cemetery in Pinelawn, NY.
