Golden

Robert (Bob) Ambrose Golden, 89, of Kingston, Massachusetts, passed away peacefully on November 7, 2026, at Tufts Medical Center in Boston.

Robert is survived by his beloved daughter, Stacey Golden Lesher, and her husband, Michael, of Scituate; his devoted son, Daniel (Chris) Golden, and his wife, Beckie of Pembroke; his beloved brother, Gerard, also of Pembroke; and many cherished nieces and nephews. He was a proud and devoted grandfather, affectionately known as “Pampa,” to his grandchildren: Andrew, Anya, Noah, Stephen, Jimmie, and Cristian.

Born on November 1, 1937, in Quincy, Massachusetts, Bob was the son of the late George A. and Marie C. (MacDonald) Golden. He was predeceased by his cherished wife of 59 years, Nancy (McGee) Golden, as well as his beloved brothers, Jack, Gene, George, and sister, Clare (Golden) Druther.

Bob attended North Quincy High School, proudly served his country in the United States Navy, and was a dedicated member of the International Union of Elevator Constructors, Local 4, for more than 40 years.

Above all, Bob was a devoted family man and loyal friend who believed deeply in the importance of family, education, and hard work. He led by example, instilling these values in those around him. Known for his selflessness, Bob always put the needs of others before his own. He was someone family and friends could always count on, never hesitating to lend a helping hand.

An avid storyteller, Bob treasured time spent with family and friends, sharing memories, telling stories, and offering advice. He took great pride in looking after those he loved, always ready to offer his time, guidance, or support. Bob will be remembered for his unwavering devotion to family and friends, his kindness and generous spirit, and the countless ways he made life better for those around him.
