Obituary

Robert (Bob) F. Czachor, 78 of Bay Shore, NY, passed away on Saturday, May 16th at Affinity Rehabilitation Center in Oakdale. Robert was born in Brooklyn, on May 5, 1942 to Margaret (Kennell) and Adam Czachor. Soon after graduating from High School, Robert started his family, eventually settling down and raising his family in Bayshore. Robert worked for Grumman Corp. until his retirement in 1993. Robert enjoyed the outdoors and supported conservation efforts such as The Arbor Day Society and Seatuck Environmental Association. As a beekeeper and gardener, he understood the delicate balance in nature. He would try to heal the injured creatures his children brought him and became very good at rehabilitating baby birds. He enjoyed boating, fishing and the beach, but not so much the sand. After a weekend visit to Mystic Seaport and a correspondence class with US Merchant Marine, he decided to build his own sailboat. His 19 foot retractable keel sailboat, made its maiden voyage around the Hecksher State Park Marina just a few summers later. Robert also enjoyed indoor hobbies, as a Philatelist he collected stamps from around the world and was proud of the time he spent cataloging his collection. He built model airplanes, rockets and boats. If he was inside there was also a very good chance that Perry Mason, Bonanza or Quincy were on the TV Robert was preceded in death by his father, Adam, his mother, Margaret and his brothers, Jeffrey and Stephen.
