Montgomery, NY – Formerly of Newburgh, NY
Robert “Bob” J. Youlio gained his angel wings while surrounded by his loved ones on Wednesday, April 5, 2023 after courageously fighting a battle with cancer.
Born on December 5, 1941 to Lawrence and Alice (Quinn) Youlio in Newburgh, New York, he was the youngest of nine children. Bob was born and raised in Newburgh until finally settling in Montgomery, New York in 1998. As a young boy, he faithfully served his parish, Saint Patrick’s Church in Newburgh, as an altar boy and was also a member of the Boy Scouts. He graduated from Newburgh Free Academy and attended Orange County Community College before enlisting in the United States Army. He proudly served 2 tours in Vietnam as a Sergeant E5, field commissioner and was honored with a Vietnam Service Medal. Upon returning from war, Bob worked for IBM, East Fishkill, as an analyst. In 1986, he met Cheryl, who turned out to be the love of his life. After 30 wonderful years of courtship, they tied the knot in May 2016.
Bob is survived and will be greatly missed by his adoring wife Cheryl; His two sons, Kerry and
Darin (Sheila) Youlio; His two daughters, Michelle “Fa” (Werner) Dominguez and Tara
(Christopher) Batson; His 5 grandchildren, Alexis and Tyler Youlio, Emily “Emerson” Taggart

The family would like to thank Hospice of Orange and Sullivan County, the West Team, for the
