Robert Taylor ... retired from Robbins Auto Parts; at 92

ROCHESTER - Robert F Taylor of Rochester died peacefully on Aug. 6, 2022. Born February 13, 1930 in Everett Mass., he was the son of Fielding and Agnes Taylor. As a young child, Bob moved with his parents and several brothers and sisters to their summer home in Barrington.

Bob often spoke fondly of his first job at 14 years of age at Calef's Country Store. Later on, he began his career at Robbins Auto Parts of Dover and was quickly promoted to manage the then new Robbins store in Rochester, a position he held for several decades until his retirement in 1989. Bob was well known to many people in the greater Rochester area as someone who did business the old-fashioned way, putting his customers first and often helping people out of a bind.

Bob married Doris Stone of Rochester, and together they raised four children, Glenn R Taylor (deceased) Randy R Taylor (deceased) Donna Williams of West Berlin, N.J. and Cindy Bisson of Rochester. Upon his retirement, Bob and Doris moved to Florida where they enjoyed many years. Bob could build or fix anything, and as a child of the depression, he wasted nothing. He could quickly turn an old board pile and a hand full of nails into a needed set of shelves or stairs. Remarkably, Bob had built a house for each of his children. Bob enjoyed spending time with his family and was a great storyteller. He shared many of his childhood memories to include fishing and swimming at Winkley Pond and riding his bike to Swain's pond where he and his friends would rent a boat for a nickel and camp on one of the islands.

Bob will be missed by his daughters Donna and Cindy, his grandchildren Timothy Hatfield of Barrington, Stephen Hatfield of Peabody Mass., Eric Bisson of Dover, Tyler Bisson of Rochester and Glenn Adwin of Malvern Pa. Also, his great grandchildren Hannah Hatfield, Chloe Hatfield, Ryan Hatfield, Thomas Hatfield, Jack Hatfield, Rosie Adwin, Donovan Adwin, James Adwin and several nieces and nephews.
