April 22, 1942 ~ June 23, 2026

Robert A. Gamble, 84, passed away peacefully on June 23, 2026, in Cortland Manor, New York, after a short illness.

Born on April 22, 1942, to Henry Gamble and Lottie Jenkins in New York City, Robert grew up in South Carolina before moving back north as a teenager. He lived a full and dedicated life marked by his love for family, strong work ethic, and many passions.

Robert is survived by his siblings, Ruth Motley, Joseph Gamble, and Salvador Gamble.

He attended Spring Valley High School before embarking on a career that spanned more than four decades as a sewer inspector for the Town of Ramapo. His commitment to his work reflected his steadfast character and dedication to serving his community.

On December 16, 1971, Robert married Patricia, with whom he shared 54 wonderful years of marriage. Together, they built a loving family and created countless cherished memories. He is survived by his wife, Patricia; daughter, Lena; son, Robert, and his wife, Cynthia; Garrett Milligan and his wife, Allison; Melvris Lopez; Robert Gamble; Regina; and his grandchildren, Robbie, Ryan, Reese, Alijah, Deion Milligan, Brooke Milligan, Darrian, Mason, Robert, Andrew, Julietta, and David. He was predeceased by his son, Eric, and his grandson, Collin Milligan.

Robert’s life was enriched by his many hobbies and interests. He found joy in bowling, fishing, camping, boating, and traveling across the country. A devoted fan of Jeopardy! and the New York Yankees, he delighted in the simple pleasures that brought him happiness throughout the years.

A man of faith, Robert was one of Jehovah’s Witnesses and found strength and comfort in his beliefs. His faith guided him through life’s challenges and provided encouragement to those around him.

The family would like to extend their heartfelt thanks to Dr. Blumberg and the staff at St. Luke’s for their compassion, comfort, and support throughout the last few months.

Robert will be remembered for the love he shared with his family and friends and for the legacy of kindness he leaves behind. May his memory bring comfort to all who knew him.

A Memorial Service will be held on June 26, 2026, from 4:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. at Brooks Funeral Home, 481 Gidney Avenue.
