Robert John Relovsky of Hackettstown, NJ passed away peacefully at home after a long illness on January 6, 2020. He was 76 years old. Robert was born at Christ Hospital in Jersey City on May 8, 1943 to John and Mary Relovsky.
Bob went to high school at St. Josephs High School in West New York and graduated with a degree in Political Science from St. Peters College in Jersey City. A beloved husband, Bob married Catherine in 1965. Bob was fun-loving, supportive, and caring. He was an entrepreneur and a great presence in town, at one point owning 4 video stores in the area. He was always active and working on projects with his family, with passions for landscaping, decorating, and building. There was never a challenge he wouldn’t take on. An avid football and baseball fan, he loved watching his Jets and Yankees. Bob brought his jovial spirit, generosity, and amazing stories with him wherever he went. His wisdom and jokes were cherished by all of his loved ones.
Spending time with family was his greatest joy— He is survived by his beloved wife of 55 years, Catherine, his children Laura Relovsky, Peter Relovsky and daughter-in-law Christine, and the late Mark Relovsky; grandfather to Olivia, Hannah, Zachary, Alexander and Evan; Brother to Thomas Relovsky and sister-in-law Marylou Relovsky,  Kenneth Relovsky and sister-in-law Claire Relovsky and the late Arthur Relovsky.
