Robert "Bob" Braun Kanski's Obituary
On the evening of July 7, 2021, Robert “Bob” Kanski passed away after facing many years of chronic health challenges. He was born in New Jersey on December 26, 1948.
Bob was a husband, father, grandfather, uncle, and brother whose devotion and dedication to his family is unparalleled. He is remembered for his humor and ability to ensure the people in his life felt loved and cared for. Bob instilled the need for “People Skills” into his children because he saw the value in creating human connections. Bob had a passion for boating, fishing, and animals (especially dogs). His favorite activities were spending time with his grandchildren, travelling with his wife Marian, and making sure his children were up to date on their car maintenance.
He and his wife of 36 years raised 4 children together- Ian Kanski, Megan Swedloff, Nikki Phillips, and Lynsey Kanski. Bob is survived by his wife, children, their spouses, one grandson, seven granddaughters, two sisters, and one brother.
