While stationed in Norfolk, Bob met and later married Diane Caracasis. They were married for 48 wonderful years. In 2002 the couple moved to Pinehurst and would eventually settle in Pinewild. Bob enjoyed playing golf and reading, especially books about WW II. Bob was a principled soft-spoken man with a kind heart.
In addition to his parents, Bob was predeceased by his brother Richard E. Vosilus. Bob is survived by his wife, Diane C. Vosilus, his brother Lt. Col. John Vosilus USA, (Ret.), wife Terry, and a bevy of nieces.
