Robert F. Sewell of Hudson, Florida, formerly of Reading and Dracut, passed away on December 30th, 2024. He was 78 years of age.
Bob had an interesting life, traveling the world with his wife, Christine. He loved playing golf and thoroughly enjoyed the camaraderie with his golfing buddies. Bob was passionate and dedicated to working with the Toy Makers, a group of people who designed and created wooden toys, which they would bring to hospitals, the Ronald McDonald House, and to any other children in need. Bob was very talented and also loved to work with his hands. He was always helping family and friends with electrical, plumbing, or any other projects that they were working on. He was also an avid hunter. He loved being in the woods, while hunting for bear, deer, and moose. He loved to ski from his ski condo in North Conway. Family gathered frequently there for 20 years, and three generations, including many other family members, would hit the slopes and play all day. Bob loved his family and was always available to listen, help them out, and advise. He cherished his grandchildren and was the “best Grampy ever.” You would always hear him say, “how can I help?” and “Yes, Dear”.
