Robert “Bobby” Anthony Doto

Robert “Bobby” Anthony Doto, 76, of Phillipsburg, NJ, passed away peacefully while surrounded by his family, on Friday, March 11, 2022, at St. Luke’s Warren Hospital.

Born on August 17, 1945, in Phillipsburg, NJ, he was the son of the late Anthony and Catherine (LaBar) Doto.

Bobby graduated from Phillipsburg High School in 1964 and went on to work in construction for Henkels & McCoy, retiring as a foreman, after 50 years of work. He was a lifetime member of the Warren Chemical Fire Company and the Safety First Social Club and was a member of the Italian American Social Club. Bobby was an avid outdoorsman, who considered his beloved Bear Paw Lodge, in Milanville, PA, to be his second home. He loved spending time there, fishing and hunting with his brothers of the Bear Paw Lodge. He enjoyed being in Disneyworld with his daughter and her family, going on motorcycle trips with his son and daughter-in-law, travelling with his wife, often to the Jersey Shore and Florida and watching his grandson play baseball. Bobby was always drawn to water and couldn’t help but have a fishing pole in his hand.

Bobby is survived by his wife, Lynn (Ent) Doto, with whom he shared 48 years of marriage, his son, Jared Doto and his wife, Lisa, of Bethlehem Twp., PA, his daughter, Jill Talijan and her husband, Neal, of Palmer Twp., PA, his grandson, Gavin Gruber, his sister, Beverly Ortega and her husband, Bellino, his many nieces and nephews, and his beloved dog, Cooper.
