IN LOVING MEMORY OF
Robert Charles
Avery
February 17, 1935 – November 27, 2025
Robert Charles Avery of Davenport, FL, passed away peacefully in Aldie, VA, on November 27, 2025. Born on February 17, 1935 in Lackawanna, NY, son of the late Lovell Morrison Avery and Doris Irene (Maxwell) Avery, and loving husband to Dorothy Ann (LoMacchio) Avery for 55 years.
After starting out in the Avery family flower shop in Lackawanna, NY, Bob eventually made his way to New York City where he maintained a very successful career working for the finest companies in the publishing industry for over 50 years. Specializing in Sales/Marketing/Distribution, he traveled all over the country and made acquaintances and friendships with a myriad of accomplished authors, celebrities, sports figures and politicians.
To all that knew him, Bob was a very capable, entrepreneurial, loyal, ethical and generous person. A deeply devoted Catholic, he donated much of his time as a member of the Knights of Columbus and as a parishioner and volunteer at a number of churches where he lived in New York, Connecticut, Arizona and Florida.
Bob will be greatly missed by his five children: David M. and his husband Johnnie, Jeffrey A. and his wife Carol, Lynn M. and her husband Rod, Kevin S. and his wife Heather, and Marc L.; his five grandchildren: Nicholas and Nicole, Ryan and his wife Elizabeth, Jillian, Gretchen, and Samantha; and his five great-grandchildren: Olivia, Vivian, J.J., Rhett, and Rowan. He is survived by his sister, Doris Jean Recktenwald and several nieces and nephews, and he was predeceased by his brother, Lovell Morrison Avery, Jr.
