Robert John Crescitelli, BHS 1963

Robert J. "Bob" Crescitelli, 81, of Enfield, CT beloved husband of 55 years to Theresa "Tes" (Miller) Crescitelli, entered into eternal rest on Saturday, June 6, 2026.

Born in Waltham, Massachusetts on January 9, 1945, he was the loving son of the late Arthur and Julia (Ristuccia) Crescitelli. Bob spent his childhood and formative years in Burbank, California, where he attended local schools and developed a lifelong passion for music.

From his early teens, Bob discovered a love for drumming and quickly became a talented musician, getting his start playing in a garage band during high school. Following his service in the United States Army, he returned to California and continued pursuing music, performing at local venues. It was during this time that he met the love of his life, Tes, whom he married and shared more than five decades of devotion and companionship.

Bob enjoyed a distinguished career in the music industry, spending nearly 40 years with KMC Music. Through hard work, dedication, and leadership, he rose through the ranks and retired as Vice President of Operations, earning the respect and admiration of colleagues throughout the industry.

Outside of his professional life, Bob's greatest joys were found in his many hobbies and the time he spent with family. He shared a special bond with his son, Art, racing radio-controlled cars at competitions across the country and restoring Corvettes together. Bob was also an avid collector of American Flyer trains, proudly curating an exceptional collection over the years.

A gifted craftsman, Bob was an accomplished woodworker who could build beautiful furniture and tackle virtually any project. He poured his heart into remodeling the antique home he shared with Tes, taking pride in preserving and improving it. Those who knew Bob appreciated his remarkable ability to fix just about anything and his willingness to lend a helping hand whenever needed.

Above all, Bob will be remembered as a devoted husband, loving father and grandfather, loyal brother, and cherished friend whose kindness, talent, and sense of humor touched the lives of many.

In addition to his beloved wife, Tes, Bob is survived by his son, Arthur Crescitelli and his wife, Kim, of Washington; his grandson, Nicholas Crescitelli and his wife Dana; his brother, Richard Crescitelli and his wife, Barbara; and many loving nieces, nephews, extended family members, and friends.

He was predeceased by his brother, Mark Crescitelli, and his sister, Joanne Crescitelli.
