It is with profound sadness and loving remembrance that we announce the passing of Robert D. “Bob” Demers, 83, of Marlborough, Massachusetts, who passed away peacefully on Thursday, October 15, 2026, surrounded by his loving family.

Born on February 4, 1943, in Marlborough, Bob was the son of Oliver and Emma (Blanchette) Demers. A lifelong resident of Marlborough, he spent several years working at Marlborough Foundry before joining Kittredge & Sons/K-Tron, also in Marlborough, where he dedicated 43 years of loyal service. Bob was known for his strong work ethic, dependability, and dedication to those around him.

On April 6, 1996, Bob married the love of his life, Kathleen “Kathy” Demers. Together, they shared more than 30 years of love, companionship, laughter, and cherished memories, building a family rooted in love, hard work, and devotion to one another.

Bob will be remembered for his kindness, generosity, faith, and unwavering devotion to his family. He had a tremendous sense of humor and a quick wit, and he was never at a loss for words. His ability to make others laugh and bring a smile to those around him was one of his many endearing qualities. Bob had a way of making ordinary moments memorable, and his laughter and quick comebacks will be fondly remembered by all who knew him.
