Robert Eugene Ulibarri, age 82 of Bridgeville, DE, passed away on Wednesday, October 13, 2021, at TidalHealth Nanticoke Hospital in Seaford, DE. He was born on April 21, 1939, in Coffeyville, KS, son of the late Seraphim and Louise (Cross) Ulibarri.
Bob proudly served in the United States Navy. He was a dedicated employee who worked as a government contractor for decades. Aside from time spent with his beloved wife, Sandi and his family, sons, grandchildren, great-grandchildren, and great-great-grandchildren; Bob's hobbies and love of barbershop quartet kept him active and traveling to competitions all over the country. When he wasn't traveling for singing, he would be found diligently at his computer playing with the stock market or tearing apart and building computers and operating systems.
After retirement, Bob took a contractor job overseas in Kuwait for several years maintaining network systems on a military facility. This location allowed a unique opportunity for Bob and his wife Sandi to travel to beautiful places in Europe.
