Robert (Bob) Livolsi

Robert “Bob” Livolsi of Wake Forest, North Carolina, age 79, entered peacefully into the presence of his Lord and Savior Jesus Christ on September 8, 2026.

‍
Bob was born in Queens, NY and raised on Long Island, NY.   He went to General Douglas MacArthur High School in Levittown, NY and got his Bachelors and Masters Degree in electrical engineering from Brooklyn Polytechnic.  He worked for AT&T Bell Labs and then went to work for IBM.  He built a long and accomplished career at IBM, where he earned a number of patents for his innovative work in chip design.  He spent 33 years of his life in the Mid-Hudson Valley where he and his wife raised their children.  

‍
Bob could do anything he set his mind to. He rebuilt the engine of his prized 1971 Plymouth ‘Cuda, constructed a three-level porch off the back of his house, and convinced himself that he was a good singer despite overwhelming evidence to the contrary. He was a beloved baseball coach, a skilled woodworker, and a talented oil painter. He loved the ocean, taking care of the lawn, and trying all kinds of different foods.  He made pancakes on Saturday mornings and brought his family to church on Sundays. His greatest love was reading the Bible and telling others about Jesus.  

‍
Bob is survived by his wife, children, and grandchildren, who love him still. He is currently residing in the presence of his Savior.
