Robert Porter, 86, entered eternal peace on October 26, 2026, following a fall. His fianc\u00e9, Barbara Squadrito, his loving partner of 15 years was by his side.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Robert was born on October 22,1940 in Madison, New Jersey. The Porter Family moved from Madison to Pottersville, New Jersey, in the late 1950\u2019s. Robert graduated from North Hunterdon Regional High School in Annandale and served with the Pottersville Volunteer Fire Department. In 1960, he enlisted in the United States Air Force, serving in Texas, Morocco, and Oregon for four years. Robert was proud to serve his country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After graduating from McKendree College in Lebanon, Illinois, Robert was selected as a Teaching Assistant in the Political Science Department at Illinois State University. While there, he was appointed a legislative staff intern with the Illinois Republican Senate staff at the State Capitol in Springfield, where he wrote legislation and worked with state legislators.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 1973, Robert returned to New Jersey and began a decade-long career with Xerox Corporation. His last employment was at Home Depot, where he enjoyed training new employees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Robert lived in Cranford, NJ for 20 years. He was past President of the Cranford Republican Club. He then moved to Kenilworth, NJ. He was a member of the Kenilworth Beautification Committee.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After retiring in 1993, he moved to Leisure Village West in Manchester, NJ. While playing Ping Pong Robert then met the love of his life Barbara. Together they lived the good life. Most days were spent taking walks, playing golf and playing ping pong and hosting dinner parties with friends.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Robert\u2019s final move took him and Barbara to Port St. Lucie, Florida, where they continued to enjoy life together. He loved metal detecting at the beach, watching NASCAR races, participating in club activities, and playing cards. Robert especially cherished the sight and sound of passing trains and their trips on the Auto Train. Whenever we hear a train, we will think of him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Robert never married nor did he have any children, however, he was welcomed into Barbara\u2019s families\u2019 lives. He often joked that they became his inherited children and grandchildren even though he was forewarned by them that it can be a crazy family at times, he made the decision to stick around. Robert will be remembered for being kind and doing thoughtful and generous things for organizations and others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Robert was preceded in death by his parents, Charles and Dorothy Porter of Madison, New Jersey, his brother Tom, and his favorite cousin Jeff. He also had a sister Susan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Visiting hours are Saturday, November 28,2026 from 2 – 4 PM at Pizzi Funeral Home, 120 Paris Avenue, Northvale, NJ. Followed by A Celebration of Life at La Fontanella Restaurant in Tappan, NY. An interment will take place in the future at Madonna Mausoleum in Fort Lee, NJ.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
