In Loving Memory of Robert Sindone

March 22, 1938 – September 3, 2026


Robert Sindone, beloved husband, father to Bobby, Maria , Carolina and Loretta , grandfather, and great-grandfather, passed away on September 3, 2026, at the age of 88.

The loss of our father is deeply felt by each of his children. Dad shaped who we are, guided us through life’s challenges, and gave us strength whenever we needed it. Through his advice, humor, and reassuring presence, he made us feel protected and loved.

Robert was a hardworking and determined man who devoted his life to protecting others and providing for those he loved. He proudly served in the United States Air Force before beginning a distinguished career with the New York City Police Department. During his 28 years with the department, he rose to the rank of Homicide Detective. After retiring from the NYPD, he continued serving as a police officer with the Gulfstream Police Department for another 10 years.

Dad was deeply patriotic and proud of his country. His military and law enforcement careers reflected his courage, discipline, and belief in doing what was right. He valued the opportunity to protect his community and contribute to something larger than himself.

Robert married his beloved wife, Lucille, on September 17, 1958. They shared 57 years of marriage until her passing on August 19, 2015. Lucille was the love of his life, and he missed her deeply in the years that followed. Their anniversary would have been 68 years this September. As we say goodbye to Dad, we find comfort in imagining him reunited with Mom, where he always longed to be.

He was also preceded in death by his beloved son, Dennis; daughter, Lorraine; and grandson, Dennis Jr. He carried their memory with him and felt their absence deeply.


Those who knew Robert knew he had a personality all his own. He loved to tell jokes—nonstop and could bring humor into almost any situation. His quick wit and unmistakable sense of humor brought laughter to those around him.

He also liked things done a certain way. His home and belongings had to be clean, orderly, and in their proper places. If he put something somewhere, that was where it belonged. He followed familiar routines, rarely straying from his schedule—even when it came to knowing exactly what time he would shower.

Dad was equally particular about how things were done. In his world, his way was usually the right way, and we often laughed, shook our heads, and followed his instructions anyway. Those familiar habits and strong opinions are now cherished reminders of the man he was.

He believed in hard work, responsibility, and taking care of what mattered. He expressed his love through his actions, sacrifices, and steadfast presence, always making sure the people around him were cared for.

Robert leaves behind a legacy of courage, humor, determination, and love. His children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren, family, and friends will carry forward the stories, laughter, routines, and memories that made him unforgettable.

Though our hearts are broken by his passing, we are grateful for the life he shared with us and for the many moments we will hold close.

Dad, you protected others, cared for your family, and loved Mom with all your heart. You endured the loss of those closest to you and carried them with you throughout your life. May you now be at peace, reunited with Mom, Dennis, Lorraine, and Dennis Jr., whom you missed so dearly.

Your work here is finished, Dad. You can rest now. You will always be loved and never forgotten. Until we meet again. ❤️
