Robert V. Merendino, 79, passed away Wednesday, July 22, 2020. Born September 17, 1940 in Brooklyn, NY, he was a son of the late Gasper Merendino and Josphine Punzina Merendino. Robert was a US Marine and known as one of the bravest, hardest working, kindest, and stoic person. He also had a creative, tender side that made him a “cool dude”, as he enjoyed photography and was a fabulous Jazz musician. Robert was also an optician for many years. He is survived by his sister, Patricia Merendino; his long- time friend Diane “Elizabeth” Pinzon; along with his cousins Tommy, and Gloria.
