Robert “Bob” Boyle, a beloved member of the Burlingame community, passed away on January 2, 2025. Bob was known for his generous spirit, his quick wit, and his unwavering dedication to his family and friends.
Born on June 4, 1944, in Belfast Northern Ireland, Bob lived a full and fulfilling life. He served his country with honor in the United States Army in the Vietnam War before joining the Burlingame Police Department, where he served his community for thirty years. Bob was a pillar of strength and support for those around him, always ready with a kind word, a hillarious joke, or a helping hand.
In his free time, Bob enjoyed woodworking, fishing, and working on DIY projects around his home. He was a master craftsman, creating beautiful clocks and redwood burl tables that will be cherished for generations to come. Bob’s love for the outdoors led him on many day trips to the coast, camping and fishing trips, creating lasting memories with his loved ones.
Bob has now joined in passing with loving wife Sheila, his sister Gemma, his brothers Peter and Patrick. He is survived by his son, Brendan Boyle, his stepdaughter Leisa Allen, beloved grandchildren, Jonathan Dierkes, Nicholas Dierkes, and Madeline Boyle, and his Brother James Boyle.
A rosary will be held on Thursday January 9, 2025 at 7:00 p.m. at Crosby-N. Gray & Co. Funeral Home, 2 Park Road, Burlingame. A funeral mass for Bob’s life will be celebrated on Friday January 10, 2025 at 10:00 a.m. at Our Lady of Angels Church in Burlingame. For those who wish to honor Bob’s memory, donations can be made to St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital in lieu of flowers. Following the ceremony, a reception will be held to share stories and memories of Bob’s life.
Bob Boyle will be deeply missed by all who knew him. His legacy of kindness, humor, and dedication will live on in the hearts of those he touched. May he rest in peace.
