Robert Capozzi

CAPOZZI - Robert

February 9, 1955 - September 30, 2026

Of Lancaster, NY, passed away on September 30, 2026, after a sudden illness at age 71. He was at home and surrounded with love by his family until the very end. Bobby was born February 9, 1955, in Buffalo to the late Michael and Theresa (née Dascoli) Capozzi, and grew up in Buffalo and Amherst, NY. Known to everyone as Bob or Bobby, he was larger than life. Filled with warmth and humor, Bobby was a gentle man with a heart of gold. He never met a stranger and saw the best in everyone. He would talk to anyone, anywhere, for as long as they'd let him, and most people walked away feeling like they'd known him for years. He looked out for everyone, especially those who needed it most. Bobby ran his own business as a builder, real estate investor, and landlord, and he loved the work. He also spent years in medical transportation. He greeted patients with a smile and made sure they got safely to the care they needed, building lasting friendships along the way. But nothing came before his family. Bobby was selfless and inspired his kids to think big and chase their dreams. His love for the human spirit led his kids to be conscientious objectors who fight for what they believe in. He was a provider, a teacher, a role model, and was so proud of his family. And then there were the Bills. Bobby’s passion, loyalty, and love for the Buffalo Bills were unmatched and shared with all. He was carried into "The Rockpile" as a young boy with his brothers, and later carried his own young son into The Ralph to keep the tradition alive, holding out hope for a Super Bowl victory. Bobby is survived by his beloved wife of 46 years, Jacqueline (née Aquilino) Capozzi; his children Kara, Robert (Dana), and Alexandria (Felipe); and his sister, Barbara Capozzi. He was predeceased by his parents and his brothers, Michael and Anthony. No prior visitation. A celebration of Life Service will be held at the convenience of the family.
