Robert P. "Robbie" Bench, 62, of Baldwin, our dear brother, passed away suddenly on Sunday, July 24, 2022. Rob was the beloved son of Leonard Sr. and the late Irene Bench; beloved brother of Leonard Jr. (Christine), Thomas (Lois), David (Claire), Vincent (Janet), Charles (Margaret), Gary (Dawn), Michael (Kathleen) and James; special friend of Monica. Also survived by 21 nieces and nephews and numerous great nieces and nephews. Rob had a zest for life and was a master balsa wood airplane model builder. Rob had a great passion for dirt bikes and the accompanying "need for speed". Always began a conversation with the phrase "long story short". It went from there. There wasn't a kinder or gentler soul. He will be sorely missed. Friends and family will be received at the John F.
