Robert Louis Haddad, 76, of Rocky Hill, CT, passed away on February 22, 2023 after a long battle with Parkinson's and Dementia. He was born in Willimantic, CT, the son of the late Louis and Evelyn Haddad.

Bob is survived by his beloved wife of 51 years, Elaine, and sons Robert Haddad of Atlanta, GA and Steven Haddad and his wife Erica of Wallingford, CT.

Bob earned his B.S. and Master's degrees from Eastern Connecticut University.
