He was born on September 29, 1943 in Fitchburg, Massachusetts to the late Ronaldo Paul and Aurore (Dubois) Thibodeau.  Bob was a Veteran of the United States Navy and a member of the Knights of a Columbus, the Jaycees, and St. Raphael Catholic Church. He was on the Residents Welcoming Committee and he love to volunteer at the Senior Center. Bob was very friendly, outgoing, loved his music, being around people, and was always happy-go-lucky. He was a significant man of faith and was known to have organized Rosary Bead Sessions. He loved watching his Red Sox, Patriots, and sometimes the Bruins. Most of all Bob adored his wife Pat whom he finally convinced to marry him. He found great joy in family, especially with his grandchildren, which he loved dearly. Bob was a true Salesperson at heart and could easily justify his drumstick ice cream cone, Sun Chips, Diet Coke, and cigarettes.
