Robert, better known as “511” Sliwak
was the kind of man everyone would want as their friend. He was
gentle,
-
friendly, easy going and you always felt good after talking with him.
His smile forever made you feel at ease and his
-
approach to life was very peaceful.
-
- At
Seaford High School, he will be remembered as #34 and co-captain of
the 1976 Championship Football Team. He also received All-County
honors and a full scholarship to college. Rob was very humble and
never really spoke of his achievements in football or baseball, but
his buddies still
-
speak of the days Rob spent on the
athletic fields.
-
-
Rob was one of seven children. He
loved his family and
- took
great pride in his roles as son, brother and uncle.
- He
would always take time to see a nephew’s ballgame or
- check
in with a phone call to family members
- when
life got too busy to visit.
-
-
Rob was married for almost nine years.
His marriage to
-
Susan was cut so short, but in that
time, they overcame
-
Rob’s battle with cancer, rode out the
waves of his Wall
-
Street career as a bond broker, and
finally bought a home in
Wantagh where they settled to
have their family.
