Prepared by the Hendry Family

After graduating from Northport High School, Robert Keith Hendry continued to live in Northport while working for several decades at Sperry Rand Corp. and Huntington Jeep. Following his mother’s death in 2015, he moved to Florida to be near his brother Jim and wife Irene in Ponte Vedra Beach.

Bob was a lifelong Yankees fan but embraced the Mets in the last 10 years. He loved decorating the exterior of his home for holidays, especially Christmas and Halloween. He was an avid fan of classic television and film, particularly from the 1940s to the early 1970s with a special fondness for Westerns. A car enthusiast, he could identify all makes and models from the past 70 years by sight. When his nieces and nephews were young, he loved taking them to Northport Sweet Shop, local bagel and candy stores and especially Adventureland Amusement Park.

Bob cherished his picturesque hometown of Northport with its quaint downtown, harbor, dock and park. His favorite season was summer when boats and small yachts would fill the harbor. He loved bringing his mother to enjoy it with him.

He is survived by his brother Jim and wife Irene; his sister-in-law Celeste Mansfield and husband Don; his nieces and nephews: Erica Hendry (and husband Max Steinmetz), James E. Hendry (and wife Arianna), Ryan Hendry and Kimberly Woods (and husband Geoff); six grandnieces and nephews as well as many cousins and friends.

A celebration of Bob’s life will be held from 2 to 4 p.m. on Saturday, Sept. 21, at Nolan Funeral Home in Northport. A religious service will take place at 3:30 p.m. at the funeral home followed by burial at St. Philip Neri Cemetery in East Northport.
