1960 - 2022
OBITUARY
With heavy hearts, we regret to inform you of the death of Robert Vincent Regan. Born on July 13th, 1960, entered into heaven on August 25th, 2022, surrounded by his family. Rob was a stagehand in the IATSE Local 1 union member for 33 years. He travelled the world with the New York Philharmonic, before working tirelessly and passionately at Lincoln Center. He was a 3nd generation IATSE Local 1 member, and provided the opportunity to his son James to become the 4th generation.
Rob was blessed with a large and loving family. He married his best friend AnnMarie in 1987 in New Hyde Park, NY, where they later raised their three children. He raised them with patience, discipline, and humility, teaching each of them how to live life to the fullest, just as he did. His life’s purpose was providing his family with happiness, which he did at home, in Montauk, in Ireland and beyond. He was a friend to all of those he met; and once you were a friend, you were Rob’s friend for life. Second to caring for his family and many friends, was tending to his garden. He not only filled his home with happiness, but with homegrown tomatoes, herbs, and flowers, among other rotating favorites. His green thumb was just one of his many talents.
He is survived by his wife, AnnMarie; his sons, James and William; his daughter, Kathryn; his mother, Dorothy; and his sisters, Kathy and Maureen. He is preceded in death by his father, Peter.
