Robert “Bob” Lessard, 74, of Milford, passed away on June 11, 2025.

He was a good man.

Robert “Bob” Lessard, 74, of Milford, beloved husband of Darlene (Yusko) Lessard, passed away on June 11, 2025. Born in Laconia, NH on October 11, 1950, he was the son of the late Robert and Annette (Cartier) Lessard.

Bob grew up in Stamford. He attended Christ the King Preparatory School. He graduated with a master’s degree from Sacred Heart University. He worked at Pitney Bowes for 30 years, retiring as a leasing manager.

Above all, Bob was a family man. He shared a full life with his beloved wife, Darlene. They made great memories together by taking cruises and traveling to Las Vegas and Atlantic City. They also visited many baseball stadiums, thanks to his brother Paul.

His son, Robert “Bobby” Lessard, along with his wife Sarah, blessed Bob with two cherished granddaughters, Sophie and Claire. When the granddaughters came to visit, he would shower them with life savers and light-hearted teasing, and their favorite game was to pry a golf ball out of his hand.

Bob is also survived by his loving siblings: Mark Lessard and his wife Debbie, Brian Lessard and his wife Nancy, and Paul Lessard and his wife Lisa. He was a beloved uncle to many nieces and nephews and was deeply cherished by his extended family and friends. Bob was predeceased by his brother, Michael Lessard.

Bob developed a lifelong passion for sports, especially golf and baseball. He played baseball for Sacred Heart University, and his love for the game continued throughout his life. However, his favorite baseball team was whoever his brother, Paul, worked for. Bob also played in various golf and softball leagues.

Bob was a proud member of the Knights of Columbus Santa Maria Council #1443, a past Grand Knight, a former member of Tinto Council #47, and member of St. Joseph’s Men’s Society. Bob was also an active volunteer for the Special Olympics. He was also a member of Precious Blood’s pastoral council and one of his biggest passions was overseeing the Giving Tree at Christmas. Bob dedicated countless hours to service, leadership, and camaraderie.

Bob was a goofball who was always making someone laugh. His kindness, sense of humor, and unwavering devotion to those he loved will be forever missed and fondly remembered.
