Halpert, Robert T.
Warwick
Halpert, Robert T., 81, passed peacefully with his loving wife and daughter by his side on Saturday, April 8, 2023 at the Hope Health Hospice Center in Providence. He was the beloved and devoted husband of Naomi (Finkel) Halpert. Born in Providence, he was a son of the late David and Etta (Blumenthal) Halpert, he had lived in Warwick for the last seven years, previously living in Newburyport, MA for twenty-five years and Providence for forty-nine. He was an incredibly talented home chef; he was devoted to making sure his family was as well fed as they were loved.
He was a Quality Control Manager for Electronic Product in Newburyport, MA and a Quality Manager for TCI in Warwick. But his true passion was fulfilled when he owned and operated the Park Ave Deli in Cranston, he made almost every item on the menu by hand and was sure to leave his family a collection of recipes for his personal favorites.
While Bob was a talented chef and engineer, he made sure to find time to support and be present for his wife, Naomi. He was a former Vice President for Camp Jori, where Naomi was a nurse. He made sure to make the trip every single day that she was there to be there at night. He was a founding member of the JCC Summer Canteen, and a co-founder of Mystery BUFFS of RI at Rochambeau Library and JCC with his cousin Violet. Bob was a former Vice President of RIJCC, a twice elected President and perpetual board member for Touro Fraternal as well as a President and Regional Vice-President for ULPS, a Vice President of the Friends of Newburyport Library. A dedicated founder and troop leader for Boy Scout Pack 104. He was a thousand-hour volunteer of Joppa Flats MASS Audubon, the RI Radio and Northeastern for Education and a member of the Conservation Commission in Newburyport.
Aside from his incredibly devoted wife, Naomi, Bob is survived by his doting daughter, Melissa Halpert of Cumberland, and his darling grandchildren, Kayla and Zachary. He was predeceased by his beloved son David Halpert. He was the dear brother of Richard “Dick” Halpert of Lake Katrine, NY.

Lots of wonderful, warm memories of sharing time with Bob and Naomi for some 20 years as volunteers @ Trinity Rep. Bob with his warm sense of humor and great smile (what a wonderful mustache!). He and Naomi brightened the “scene” when they shared their time and love for Trinity. Those joyful times have become part of the memories of my life formed while engaged by the theatre. Wishing much peace for Naomi and the family as Bobs’ journey continues…
