Robert R. Allen

April 22, 1947 — March 18, 2025

WESTHAMPTON – Robert R. Allen, 77, of Westhampton passed away peacefully on Tuesday evening at Baystate Medical Center in Springfield. Bob, as family and friends called him, was born in Fitchburg, growing up there and graduating from Fitchburg High School. He moved to the area in the 70’s, marrying Ruth (Ewig) from Southampton in 1973. They settled in Westhampton to raise their family. Bob was employed by Digital Equipment Corporation in Westfield for nearly 17 years before moving to Yankee Candle where he worked for 25 years before retiring. Bob loved time with his family and spending time outdoors, whether it was camping, hiking, canoeing or fishing. He also enjoyed photography, capturing many beautiful photos of family and nature. Bob is survived by two sons; John of Westhampton and Mark (Jeanne) of Rochester, NY and two grandchildren, Andrew and Zoe Allen, who lovingly called him "Big Papa". Robert will be interred alongside his beloved wife, Ruth, in St. Joseph’s Cemetery in Fitchburg. In lieu of flowers, please consider a donation to the Appalachian Trail Conservancy.
