Robert Thomas Enos

Robert “Bob” Enos, 81, of North Port, Florida, passed away on June 30, 2020. He was born to William & Mildred (Porter) Enos, on August 14, 1938 in East Williston NY. Bob graduated from East Williston High School and received a BS degree from CW Post College. He also received a master’s degree from the University of Phoenix in his retirement years. Bob started his career as an educator teaching high school English. During that time, he also coached varsity basketball and track. Bob was the consummate teacher and mentor throughout his life and never stopped teaching those around him about the things he loved and believed. He married Judy (Miller) Enos, his high school sweetheart and the love of his life in 1960, who survives him today. Bob is also survived by his three children Bill, Deb & Rob, along with their spouses Ronit, Chris & Paula, and a host of grandchildren, Gabi, Will, Mary Kate, Liam, Daniel, Travis & Drew. After 5 years in education, Bob built a long and successful career in the publishing industry heading many companies and holding executive positions with prominent publishers such as Doubleday, Ingram, Houghton Mifflin and others. He later went on to build a national sales & marketing company to book sellers. It was the happiest time of his career, having his wife Judy and sons Rob & Bill join him in his own company, Robert T. Enos Associates. Bob was probably best known for his love of baseball & golf. He was a huge Brooklyn Dodger’s fan as a kid and later became devoted to the Boston Red Sox. Those that knew him well will recall endless stories of his favorite teams and infamous golf matches. His love for sports never faded and he was the constant coach throughout his life. He loved helping everyone around him get better and learn the right way to play their sport. Bob and Judy moved to North Port, Florida in 2010. They enjoyed their retirement playing golf, traveling and making new memories together. In August they would have celebrated their 60th wedding anniversary, a testament of their love. The family will forever share stories of “Pop” and how he approached everything he did in life. He was a great story teller who loved spending time with his family and friends. He had a giant presence about him and made an impact on everyone who knew him. We’ll all honor his life for years to come. Due to the current pandemic there will not be a memorial service at this time. However, the family is together celebrating Bob’s life and re-telling stories that never seem to get old. We thank you all for your kind thoughts and prayers, your amazing kindness is truly in our hearts. We would ask that anyone looking to make any donations please do so to the Parkinson’s foundation. https://www.apdaparkinson.org
