Robert Vincent Eliseo, 60, of Farmingdale, passed away on Sunday at JFK Hospital.
Robert was born in the Bronx and raised in Bethpage Long Island. He graduated from the University of Scranton and kept his bond with his college friends through the years. He began his career as a distributor for Pepsi Cola, starting his company, J. Wild Beverage, which he still owns today. Robert married the love of his life, Raphaella, and raised their daughter, Gianna, in Belmar, eventually moving to Farmingdale. Robert loved playing golf and finishing off a round by smoking a cigar with his buddies. He loved taking Gianna to Giant and Yankee games while teaching her about his favorite sports. Robert found joy in randomly surprising his family with gifts, vacations, and plans as he loved to give. He shared his love of “classic” music with whoever was near. Robert also enjoyed fishing and being on the water. Most of all he loved sharing his love of God especially with Gianna from a very young age.
Robert is survived by his loving wife Raphaella; his daughter Gianna; his siblings Rose Bardis, Joann Maloy and her husband James, and Barbara Davis and her husband Cameron; and many loving nieces and nephews.
Visitation will be Friday, May 30th from 4:00-8:00 PM with a prayer service at 5:00 PM at the Holmdel Funeral Home, 26 S. Holmdel Road, Holmdel, NJ 07733. At his family’s request he will be privately cremated following the service.
