About
Our Purpose
Bob brought immense joy to our family with his laughter, kind heart and his infectious energy. He was always eager to help. We miss him terribly and want his wonderful memory to stay alive. He was loved by many friends, family, and especially his grandchildren.
Dad (Bob or Supe) was well- known in the community. In his younger years he coached youth sports, and later in life dedicating time to community organizations, including serving as a member of the Killingly Board of Education. He was a mentor to many throughout his career, where he was well respected and also a friend.
Our endeavors are to keep his legacy alive.

The Bob Supe Classic (Golf Outing )
Golf Outing
Bob had a deep love for golf, whether it was getting a few holes in before dark on a weeknight or playing his dream course - St. Andrews in Scotland - he loved the game. After retiring in November 2023, one of his favorite activities became his weekly golf outings with his pals John and Scott. Following in his love for the game, we've made our first official fundraising event "The Bob Supe Classic".

Our Goals
With the proceeds raised from our golf outing and other future events, the Bob Surprenant Memorial will help support local community programs. We also hope to offer a scholarship opportunity to a local student who possesses the same attributes and love for community that Bob did. Also we will make an annual donation to the American Heart Association and the American Lung Association. All of these causes are dear to our family. In the future, we hope to contribute to further research for these two important causes.
