Robert T. Maslyn, 77, passed Friday June 26, 2026, at Baystate Franklin Medical Center.  He was born in Rochester, NY on October 22, 1948, to Francis and Marie (O’Connor) Maslyn. 
Bob graduated from St. Bonaventure University with a BA in Journalism.  He earned two master’s degrees in public administration and social work from the Maxwell School at Syracuse University.  He worked at the Health and Human Services Department and later the General Services Administration of the Federal Government. 
Bob was an intelligent man who had a talent for writing.  His writing ability exhibited itself at a young age.  When he was 11 years old, he started a neighborhood newspaper called “The Spotlight”.  He “hired” the neighborhood kids as his reporters.  He, of course, was the editor in-chief. 
He will be greatly missed. 
Bob is survived by his wife, Rebecca, and her two children, Daniel and Hannah; his siblings; Michael (Patricia), Patricia Powers (Richard), James (Maureen Bisnett), Thomas, and Mary (Serge Fillion).  He also leaves behind many nieces and nephews. 
Besides his parents he was predeceased by his brother William Maslyn and his sister Kathleen Foos.
