Robert Allen Buck, 71, of St Pete Beach, FL died peacefully on July 15th, 2025 surrounded by family. Born to parents Elaine and Parker Buck of Demarest, NJ, Robert was perhaps best known for his free spirit, love of cars, and passion for science fiction series like Star Trek, often citing the original series as one of the most influential on his life, and in his later years finding Guardians of the Galaxy to be a source of wonder and comfort. Robert attended Northern Valley Regional High School at Demarest, and attended Western New England College (We Never Ever Close!) for his business degree. After working several jobs he landed a job bartending at the Club 50, where he met and later married the owner’s daughter Brenda. Together they have three children: Daniel Robert, Andrew Scott and Angela Marie. Robert was preceded in death by his father, Parker; his mother, Elaine; his sister, Katherine and his brother Louis. He is survived by his children and brother Clifford of Clearwater FL.

Services are planned for the fall. In lieu of gifts, the family requests your consideration of donations in his name to the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society.
