Obituary of Robert J. Cuollo

Robert J. Cuollo, 81, of Freehold passed away on Saturday, February 19, 2022 at CentraState Medical Center. He was born and raised in Brooklyn, NY and had lived in Staten Island, NY before settling to Freehold 18 years ago. Robert worked for IBM as a computer engineer in New York City, and most recently as a school bus driver for over 12 years. He was a true entertainer who enjoyed acting, writing, singing, and producing. Robert thought he was a comedian, always having a new joke to tell. He enjoyed traveling which led to his love for cruises. Robert and his wife cruised to many places, most notably Paradise Island, Italy, Hawaii, Puerto Rico, St. Thomas, and St. Martin. He was very social and made friends anywhere he went. Those bonds will last a lifetime. Above all, Robert was a loving husband, father, grandfather, and great grandfather whose kind heart will be missed by all.
