Robert David "Bob" Parrucci

On October 24, 2020,  Robert (Bobby) Parrucci of Laurel, Maryland, beloved brother, uncle and friend to many, passed away at the age of 68. He was born on December 22, 1951, in Washington D.C.

He was an active member of the Retired Association of Metropolitan Police Officers. Robert loved the outdoors: gardening and hunting and many various crafts: building his cabin in W. Virginia, woodworking and metal work projects. He lived at his home in Laurel and helped in the care of his mother and father in their later years. He was a friend and mentor to his family.
