Robert Bogda

Robert Bogda, 64 of Union passed away on July 6, 2021.

Relatives and friends are invited to attend a memorial visitation for Robert at the Galante Funeral Home, 2800 Morris Ave. Union on Wednesday July 14 from 3-7 PM, with a funeral service being celebrated in the funeral home at 6 PM.

Born in Summit, Robert was a lifelong Union resident. He worked as a tool & dye maker for General Motors in Linden for many years, and most recently for United Airlines in Newark until his retirement in 2020. Robert was an avid model railroader and drag racing enthusiast. He could fix just about anything- be it trains, planes or cars!

The son of the late Harry and Helen (Kurdyla) Bogda, Robert was the beloved husband of 42 years to Theresa J. (nee Finnigan) Bogda; loving father of Patricia Bogda (John) and Christopher Bogda, dear brother of Harry Bogda (Dorothy) and Mark Bogda (Carolyn). He is also survived by several loving nieces and nephews.

In lieu of flowers, donations in his memory may be made to St. Jude Children's Research Hospital.
