Robert (Bob) Pokoj, 66 of Dunkirk N.Y., entered into eternal life Nov. 16, 2024 after a courageous battle with cancer and COPD.
He is survived by his wife Cheryl; son, Jason Pokoj (Shana); daughter, Aimee Metzger (Matt); and four grandchildren: Adam, Lily, Olivia and Emberlynn. He is also survived by his brother, John Pokoj (Vivian), and sister, Cathy Erick (Tina).
Bob had a love for sports, including bowling, softball, disc golf and rooting for the Bills. He was part of a close group of friends known as “The Corner” where they shared countless memories, including their annual Turkey Bowl on Thanksgiving. Bob discovered a new desire for karaoke during his illness and found immense joy while singing and sharing his passion.
As per Bob’s wishes, no funeral services will be held, a Celebration of Life event will be held in the summer where family and friends can gather to share stories and memories of his life. A date will be shared at a later time.
