Obituary for Robert Alan Kravitz
On November 9, 2020 Robert A. Kravitz, 78, peacefully passed away at his home in Hudson, NH surrounded by family and friends. He was the son of Morris and Deborah (Schlesinger) Kravitz formerly of Newton Massachusetts. Married on July 19, 1969 in Foxborough MA., Bob was the loving husband of Lois E. Kravitz with whom he recently celebrated over 50 years of marriage.
Bob graduated from Newton High School in 1960. He then went on to attend the University of Massachusetts at Amherst where he participated in the Air Force ROTC, Hillel Foundation, Air Cadet Squadron, Pre-med club and psychology club. Graduating in 1964 with a BS in Psychology, Bob later attended Rivier College nights where he earned his MBA.
He worked for many different companies over the years. While at Digital Equipment Corporation he met Ray Stevens and was introduced to the word of barcode in 1984 which shaped his career. He never looked back and retired from Peak-Ryzex, Inc. after a long and successful career earning many awards for his salesmanship.
For many years Bob was an avid HAM radio operator with the call sign of WA1TGN. He spoke with a wide variety of people all over the world and earned many awards. He enjoyed his Saturday morning “breakfast club “where he spent time with friends at numerous locations over the years including the Midway café in Nashua NH and Thursday night Skype. He developed an interest and passion for computers when they first came out and shared his general interest in current technologies with friends and family. Bob also loved to drive, anywhere and everywhere and yes, several times to Florida. Snapping photos of his journeys and adventures along the way he also was the one capturing the family celebrations and traditions cataloguing them for future generations.
He is survived by his wife of 51 years, Lois E. (Brown) Kravitz, sister Ann Kravitz of Boston MA, children, Michelle and her spouse Tom Morris of Litchfield NH, Deborah A. Kravitz & her spouse Jes Quesada of Bedford NH and Jason Kravitz of Hudson NH. His grandchildren Owen and Nia and many cousins, nieces, nephews, friends.
