Bobby was born March 23, 1947 in Milford, MA, son of the late Barbara (Cote) and Richard Deyette and was a life-long resident of Grafton. He excelled as a high school athlete playing baseball, basketball and football. Always hard working Bobby was a truck driver by trade for many years before working in Shipping and Logistics for Genzyme prior to his retirement. Away from work he loved being “Grampie” to his many grandchildren and finding time to get away on his motorcycle whenever he could. He also was happy with a fishing rod in his hand, taking trips to the mountains or the sea shore in Maine or Cape Cod with his wife Donna, and if anyone over thought they had the upper hand against him while shooting pool they likely had another thing coming. All are welcome to gather and remember Bobby with his family Thursday August 12th from 10am-1pm at Roney Funeral Home 152 Worcester St. N. Grafton, MA 01536 followed by his interment at Riverside Cemetery in Grafton. A Book of Memories to share a message with his family is available online at:
