Robert “Bob” J. Briccotto passed away peacefully Thursday, Feb. 18, 2021. Bob was born Aug. 4, 1935, in Wilmington. Known as a gentle giant, Bob never missed an opportunity to enjoy life with his family and friends. Anyone could start a conversation with Bob, and end it feeling the warmth of his friendship.
A dedicated worker throughout his entire life, Bob spent most of his career as owner of Esquire Plumbing & Heating. With values instilled in him at his father’s business - Silverbrook Lawnmower and at Salesianum School, he mastered his craft prior to opening Esquire with his wife Virginia in 1971. Fifty years later, Esquire continues to serve the community under the operation of his son, Rob. Bob was so proud of his Rob and what they accomplished together.
