Mr. Robert A. Balboni

July 20, 1927 - August 12, 2021

Robert A. Balboni, formerly of Hingham, Massachusetts, settled in Western Massachusetts after a long career as a draftsman for the Charles Stark Draper Laboratory in Cambridge, Massachusetts where he was instrumental in the design of the Trident Missile. Bob was the loving husband of his late wife Margaret A. Balboni, and together they built their dream home in West Stockbridge where they lived out their lives surrounded by nature's beauty. Bob was the devoted father of eight adoring children: Patricia Balboni, Robert Balboni, Susan Kelliher, Peter Balboni, William Balboni, Margaret Healey, Mary Crosby and Margaret Balboni. Dad, Papa, Pops passed away peacefully in his sleep surrounded by his family. Robert is also survived by his seventeen grandchildren and six great grandchildren, as well as his brother, Lawrence Balboni. He was predeceased by sisters Ruth Balboni and Eleanor Ularich. While he will be dearly missed, he will be remembered as a marathon runner and by the hiking and skiing community as an avid outdoor enthusiast and a remarkable man. Bob will be celebrated at an 11:00 a.m. funeral mass held at St. Patrick's Parish of West Stockbridge, MA on Monday, August 16, 2021, immediately followed by a reception at the church hall. There will be a graveside service at Saint Paul's Cemetery in Hingham, MA on Tuesday, August 17, 2021 at 12:15 p.m. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to Hospice Care in the Berkshires, Pittsfield, Massachusetts.
