Robert “Bob” Ross
April 20, 1953 – February 12, 2026
Resident of Randolph, MA
Robert “Bob” Ross, of Randolph, passed away peacefully on February 12, 2026. Bob was born on April 20, 1953 in Boston to Richard A Sr. and Ruth (Rogers) Ross. He is survived by his wife of 35 years Michelle, daughters Eileen (Kevin), Renee, and Jennifer (Jonathan). He was the loving Papa of Nathan and Noah Almeida, and Kennedy and Jonathan Lasis Jr. He is also survived by his siblings Richard Ross and wife Kathy, William Ross, and Barbara Hunter. He is also the loving uncle of many nieces and nephews.
Bob had a lengthy career as a truck driver in the food service industry. Bob was blessed with a great sense of direction and took pride in never needing a map and being able to give his daughters directions to anywhere they were going.
Bob was an avid Patriots fan and season ticket holder for the last 51 years, even attending multiple Superbowls. He enjoyed spending summers boating on Sebago Lake with family and lifetime friends, battling his siblings in intense games of Parcheesi, taking trips to the casino with his wife, and always making time to be silly with his grandchildren.
In his retirement age he enjoyed spending time with his family. His favorite role in life was being a papa to his four grandchildren, always supporting all of their causes. One of which being “Nathan Knuckleheads” which is a charity that directly supports the diabetic floor at Boston’s Children’s Hospital as his eldest grandchild, Nathan, has Type 1 Diabetes.

Bob Ross was a legend to anyone who heard just a single story about him. He helped to create and raise some of the most unique, caring, funny, insightful, and amazing women who went on to have miniature versions of themselves to carry the Ross name. He was so loved and he taught everyone in his family how to spread love and laughter. His presence will be missed, I am grateful that his legend will continue to carry on through everyone he made his impact on while he was here.
I am so sorry to hear about Bob. My prayers go out to you girls at this difficult time .

Bobby will be missed! I worked with Bobby for many years in the food business and because of his work ethics he made my job a lot easier. He was a person that you could count on to get the job done even in difficult times. We had a bunch of great guys working there. and I can say he was one of the best. RIP Bobby, we had a lot of laughs along the way.
