OXFORD – Robert O. “Bob” Millette, of Forest Street, died Friday June 22, 2018 at Sandalwood Nursing Home in Oxford after a brief illness. He is survived by his wife of 52 years, Judith A. (McClure) Millette of Oxford; two children, Lori A. Conrad and her husband Gary of Northbridge, and Timothy R. Millette and his wife Ann of Oxford; his brother, James E. Millette and his wife Evelyn of Uxbridge; three grandchildren, Ariel Millette, Lexi Millette, and Trever Millette; and several nephews and nieces. He was born in Worcester, son of the late Ovila and Rita (Couture) Millette and lived in Northbridge for most of his life before moving to Oxford 14 years ago. He graduated from Northbridge High School in 1960 and earned several engineering certificates. Bob served in the Army and was a member of the AMVETS.

Mr. Millette was a Field Return Specialist at Northrop Grumman Company in Norwood for 34 years, retiring in 2000. After retiring from Northrop, he continued to keep busy by working part-time for the Armenian Church of Our Savior in Worcester performing general maintenance work until finally taking time to relax in 2016. He was a member of St. Ann’s Church in North Oxford.

He loved to travel with his wife Judy and they tried to plan a big trip at least every few years. He enjoyed spending winters in Florida and spent his time going to the beach having picnics, fishing, going out to dinner with friends and making wooden toys to give to charity.

He was proud of his family and loved to spend time with his grandchildren. Bob kept busy always doing something around the house, going to yard sales to find his next treasure or in his workshop puttering around.
