Obituary of Robert E Branigan

Robert (Bobby) E. Branigan, Jr., 68 of Honesdale, PA formerly of Callicoon Center, NY and Waldwick, NJ passed away on Sunday, August 20, 2023. He was employed as a CDL driver working with various trucking companies in New Jersey and locally for Fox Ledge and then Penelec. Bobby was a very gifted impressionist and loved making friends and family laugh doing his impressions of various movie stars, politicians, and even some of his own family members. Elvis Presley and Clint Eastwood's "Dirty Harry" were also particular favorites and were hilarious. His innately gentle soul reflected in his love of animals and being in nature. He had several dogs as part of his family throughout his lifetime and cherished them all. Bobby's kindness extended to others as well. He often helped neighbors and people who were not as fortunate. He was the loving husband of Beth Branigan (nee Mignerey), cherished son of Jean Branigan (nee Raffetto) and adored brother to Colleen, Maureen (Keith) Hockenbeck, Rita (James) Delano, Margaret (Ralph) Darmiento, and Moira (Michael) Scola. He is also survived by his adored nieces, Grace, Melanie, Elyse, Lauren and Elena; and his close friend Kristine Schnitzel. He is predeceased by his cherished brother Michael and father Robert Branigan, Sr. Friends may visit at the Arthur A.
