Robert Lee Deaquinos
December 4, 1929 — November 24, 2017
Robert Lee “Bob” deAquinos, 87, passed from this life to his eternal life with Jesus Christ on November 24, 2017. He was born in Queens, NY on December 4, 1929, to Leon
deAquinos and Ella Boas deAquinos, both deceased.
Bob grew up in Miami, Florida, where he attended local schools and graduated from Miami Edison Senior High School in 1947.
He joined the USMC in August 1948 and was honorably discharged in 1953 after having proudly served his country.
After discharge, he returned home to continue his studies at the University of Florida. Finances led to the opportunity to learn the ceramic tile business. He learned the trade but also applied for a job with the City of Miami Fire Department and was accepted in July 1956.
Along with working for the Fire Department, he continued the ceramic tile business, and became the owner of Dean’s Tile and Marble. He was a Fire Fighter for 31 years, working through the ranks to Captain. He was also a Fire Rescue Paramedic. Bob retired in 1987.
He was an active member of Westside Baptist Church where he served as an Usher until his declining health made it impossible to continue.
He is survived by his devoted wife of 48 years, Dottie; his children Robbin, Bob Jr., and Bill; and his step-children, Tom, Susan, and Shari. In addition he is survived by his 11 grandchildren, several great-grandchildren, his sister, Ellen, and several nieces and nephews.
He had many cherished friends and loved ones who will miss his contagious smile, and friendliness.
In lieu of flowers the family has requested that donations be made to the Westside/Midway Road Baptist Church building fund.
Services: Visitation will be held Sunday, December 3, 2017 from 2:00 to 3:00pm, with a service to follow at Westside Church, 3361 S. Jenkins Road, Ft. Pierce, FL. Inurnment will be held at South Florida National Cemetery in Lake Worth, Florida.
