Robert
Robert Philibert Sr.
d. September 17, 2023
Robert was born in Fitchburg, Ma. To Mildred Whittier Philibert and Donald Philibert 12/09/1943.
Robert passed away at home after a brief illness on Sunday, Sept. 17th.
He was predeceased by his mother, Mildred and father Donald and his sisters Elaine, Lynn Philibert and Roberta Chambers. Also, his son Robert Philibert Jr.
He is survived by his wife of 35 years, Rosalie Philibert of Franklin, his daughter Cinda Case of New York, his sons John George of Northfield, Michael George of Franklin, and his daughter Kelly George and her companion Christoper Moses of Danbury NH. Also, many grandchildren, great grandchildren, nieces, nephews, cousins, and so many friends.
Robert worked many years driving tractor trailer for Bentley Warren Trucking out of Ipswich, Ma. He also drove for Merrimack Carnage and M.C.Crowley Trucking for short periods of time. While working for Bentley’s he acquired the nickname “Rico”. He was also known as Indian, Chief, Bob, Dad, and most importantly, Grampa. He worked part-time for the Tilton Car wash after retirement and the Soda Shoppe also.
Robert loved riding his 83 “shovelhead”, which I called “Ole Yellow.” He enjoyed his time with his many friends, especially, Dick Ackerson whom he had coffee with at the Sanbornton store and who picked him up to go to the store when he couldn’t drive. His friend, Terry Drury, would stop by and give him his haircut. He liked family cookouts and spending time talking with family and friends. He always had a tale to tell and a laugh and big smile. His favorite place was on the deck watching the hummingbirds and any other wild life that happened to wander by.
He will be greatly missed by his fur babies, Holly, Oscar Madison, and Spencer. They loved their human Daddy.
There will be a graveside service, open to the public, on Thursday September 28th at 11:00 at the Veterans cemetery in Boscawen, NH.
There will be a Celebration of Life October 21st, 4-8, at the VFW in Franklin NH. If you want to bring a dish, please let me know so I can let the person in charge know.
