Robert L Manierre, 91, died peacefully at Avow Hospice of Naples, on January 11th, 2022. Formerly of East Hartford and Stamford, Connecticut, Bob was a bright spot in the lives of everyone he touched. He attended high school in East Hartford, Connecticut, and earned his degree at Northeastern University in Boston. A design engineer, he received several patents during development of eight-track and cassette tapes eventually becoming the Chief of Research and Development for Capital Records. Rather than move his family to California he left engineering and bought a family operated resort in the Pocono Mountains of Pennsylvania. Following that he and his wife, Mary, spent some time traveling the country before settling in Naples, Florida. In Naples, Bob managed a campground then became the manager of Windsong Condominiums in Bonita Springs, finally retiring at the young age of 89. He was active in many resident activities at Landmark Naples, where he resided for over 25 years. Bob is survived by four children: James R. (Andrea) of Deerfield Beach, FL, Steven A. (Corrine) of Albany, NY, Joan M. (Stephen) Lowry of Colonia, NJ, and David E. (Nancy) of Naples, FL); three grandchildren: Steven A. (Tara), Jennifer T., and Robert F. Manierre, all of Albany, NY area, and three beloved great grandchildren, Landon, Isabella, and Juliette. He is also survived by his sister-in-law, Emily Manierre of Columbus, OH, and several nieces and nephews. Bob was predeceased by his wife, Mary Ellen (Carter), brother William Manierre of Columbus, Ohio and sister and brother-in-law Evelyn and Theodore Hall of Cromwell, Connecticut. He will be greatly missed by his family, and his many devoted friends at Landmark Naples and the Bonita Springs area. A burial and service celebrating Bob's life will be held in East Hartford, Connecticut on a future date. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in Robert's name to Avow Hospice of Naples, 1095 Whippoorwill Lane, Naples, FL 34105.
