HAVERHILL - Robert "Bob" W. Rolfe, Sr., 82, of Haverhill, formerly of Danvers, passed away peacefully on Sunday, December 16, 2018, at his home.

He was born in Swampscott on December 23, 1935, son of the late William Rolfe and Viola (Quimby) Rolfe. Brother of the late William Rolfe and late Carolyn Rolfe Caswell. Robert was raised in Marblehead and graduated high school from Cushing Academy. He worked for over 40 years in the grocery industry spending most of his career with Shubie's Market in Marblehead and Ralph's Market in Beverly.

Bob was the loving husband of the late Carol Ann (Amato) Rolfe for 52 years. They resided in Danvers for many years and moved to Haverhill in 2005.

After Bob retired, he took care of his grandsons so they wouldn't have to go to daycare, and he loved every minute. He loved gardening but his true passions were creating models out of matchsticks and collecting and listening to old time radio shows. Bob was also an avid Red Sox and Patriots fan.

He is survived by his children, Andrea Rolfe of Salem, MA; Robert Rolfe, Jr. and wife Ginny, of NH; and Diana Gallagher and husband Tom, Jr. of Haverhill, MA; cherished grandsons, Patrick and Brendan Gallagher; brother-in-law Parker Caswell of Marblehead, MA; sister-in-law and brother-in-law, Diane and Ronald Correale, of Malden, MA; and several nieces and nephews.
