Obituary of Robert J. Volpe, II

Announcing the passing of my father Robert Joseph Volpe II is the hardest thing I have ever had to do... He was born May 16th, 1959 and deceased June 15th, 2020.

To say my father had a zest for life is an understatement. He was the life of the party who lit up the room and tore down the dance floor. He was always the first to crack a joke, weather it was the right time or not. Making people around him laugh and smile was his favorite sport (besides football).

He loved his friends and family to no end and was always there for people, even if they were a complete stranger. He always taught me to do the right thing, know your exits, be the bigger person, and catch them on the dodgeball court later. He took every day in stride, kept it moving, and didn't sweat the small stuff.

Through his legacy lives his daughter Erica Renee Otten, her husband John, his beautiful granddaughter, Geneva Louise, and grandson due to arrive in September of this year. Bob had a large family including brothers and sisters Fred Volpe (wife Laura and daughters Meredith and Lizzie), Katherine Volpe (previously deceased), Frank Volpe (wife Tammy, their daughter Logan, and his son Frank Jr.) Anette Volpe, and Rose Lunstead (husband James Lunstead, children Jenna and Alex) with many beloved friends.

Robert was born in France on the American air force base, raised (and raised hell) in Willingboro NJ, and lived in Tabernacle NJ. He created and ran Splash Pools Services for 35 years, taking care of many customers throughout burlington county which he cared for very much. He was a lover of music, fun, excitement and life. He will be missed by many, many people.

We will be gathering in memorial of Robert "Big Bob" Volpe on Sunday June 28th, 2020 at our home from 11am until 2pm. He had been cremated per his own wishes and you will be able to pay your respects and share your thoughts and stories.
