Robert “Bob” Udoff

September 25, 1933 - September 26, 2020

Robert “Bob” Udoff, 87, passed away on September 26th, 2020 at his home in Downey, California. He was the widower of Barbara Udoff. They shared over 65 years together.
Bob was born on September 25th, 1933 in Baltimore, Maryland. He served in the United States Navy. He met his wife, Barbara, in 1954 at a Jewish community dance. They married a year later on January 30th, 1955. They had two children, Marc and Mike.
Bob was a member of the Downey United Masonic Lodge No. 220 for 53 years. He was Master of the Lodge 3 times.
When he was not working, he loved to spend his time with Barbara, the absolute love of his life. He was a devoted father to his two sons. He and his wife loved to visit their son, Marc, in Hawaii. They had over 30 trips to the Islands under their belts!
Bob had a quick wit and dry sense of humor that left an indelible mark on everyone he met.
After COVID-19 has passed, a Celebration of Life gathering to honor both Barbara and Bob Udoff will take place.
Bob is survived by his two sons, Marc Udoff and Mike Udoff.
He truly will be missed. Rest in Peace.
