Robert Stroud

June 28, 1928 - April 12, 2020

Robert “Bob” Stroud, 91, of Solvay, NY passed away peacefully of old age on the 12th of April at Central Park Rehabilitation and Nursing Home in Syracuse, NY. Bob was born in Norwich, NY and the family later moved to Brewerton. Bob served honorably in the US Army in Japan as a Medical Technician from 1946 to 1949. A dedicated and conscientious provider for his family, he worked for the Railway Express Agency (REA) until 1975, and then retrained as a Licensed Practical Nurse, employed by Van Duyn Nursing Home from 1976 until 1993. A sweet-natured, loving and generous man, Bob will be sorely missed by his wife of 56 years, Olga (née Bazluki); his son and daughter-in-law, Greg and Lauren Stroud of London, England; and his sisters Patricia (husband Tom) Larkin of Concord, MA and Nancy Guadagno of Spindale, NC. The family is hugely grateful to the staff of Central Park, who took excellent care of Bob in his final days, calling his family regularly so we could speak to him when we were no longer allowed to visit the facility. Burial will take place at Saints Peter and Paul Russian Orthodox Cemetery. In lieu of flowers, contributions may be made to American Nurses Association in tribute to Bob’s decades of nursing work, at https://www.nursingworld.org/get-involved/donate , or mail to: P.O. Box 504342, Saint Louis, MO.
