Obituary of Robert John Limage

Robert J. Limage, 75, of Delmar, NY, passed away on Monday, October 23, 2023 at home surrounded by his loving wife, Bessie G. Malamas and daughter, Emily H. Limage.

He was born August 30, 1948, to Leslie P. Limage Sr. and Doris M. (Trevillian) in Buffalo NY.

Rick to those who knew him in Buffalo and Bob to those who knew him in Albany touched many lives through his time with us.  After serving his country in the Army he graduated summa cum laude from University of Buffalo where he also met the love his life for 51 years, Bessie.  Bob moved to Albany in the early 1970s where he had a long career working as an Investment Officer for NYS Comptroller.

He enjoyed gardening and growing heirloom tomatoes in his rich soil that he cultivated for years.  If he wasn’t gardening, he could be spotted at Sycamore Golf Course with his buddies “The Golfettes”  

Gardening and golf were his passions, but Bessie and Emily were his forever loves.  Bob will always live on through those left behind - His “brown eyed girl” Emily and the “sunshine of his life”, Bessie.  He will forever be missed but never forgotten.  There are no goodbyes.  Wherever you are, you will always be in our hearts.   

He is survived by his wife, Bessie Malamas; daughter, Emily Limage; niece Sharon Limage; nephew Leslie Limage III (Elizabeth Black); niece Melissa Limage Garringer (Jason Garringer) and several great nieces and a great nephew.  He was predeceased by his parents, Doris and Les Limage, and his younger brother Leslie P. Limage Jr. 'Babe'. 

Viewing will be held this Friday, October 27 from 4pm to 7pm at Applebee Funeral Home in Delmar, NY.
