Robert P. Marcucci, 87, of Wheatfield, NY passed away on Wednesday, March 4, 2015 at Buffalo General Hospital. Born in Niagara Falls, NY, the city he was so proud of, he was the son of the late Arthur and Agnes (Leo) Marcucci. Robert was a lifelong resident of the Niagara Falls area and attended local schools. He served in the United States Navy as Seaman Second Class during World War II.

He later became a member of the Moore Retirement Club
Robert's passion in life was golfing. He golfed almost every day during the summer months and aced four holes-in-one on the Hyde Park Golf Course. In his younger years, he also participated in local bowling leagues. He and his wife Carol enjoyed meeting friends three times a week as part of a local coffee club. Bob especially enjoyed the routine visits by his loving and faithful neighbors for a cold beverage. Robert will be remembered as a kind and gentle man, who saw the good in everyone. He lived his life for his family and was the greatest husband, father and grandfather.
