Robert Paul Bosking

Robert Paul Bosking, 83, of Severn, MD, passed away peacefully on November 2, 2026, at AccentCare Hospice at MedStar Harbor Hospital in Baltimore, MD.

Bob was born on October 8, 1943, in Cheyenne, Wyoming, to the late William Henry Bosking and Milida (née Brt) Bosking. He spent his childhood in Mitchell, Nebraska in a home built by his father, proudly lending a hand at Bosking Drug, the family drugstore. Bob went on to graduate from Lincoln High School in 1961 and the University of Nebraska in 1965 (Go Cornhuskers!).

At the encouragement of his brother Bill, Bob joined the United States Army in 1968, serving as an officer in Vietnam and the 82nd Airborne Division. He retired as a Major in 1988 and continued supporting the Department of Defense as a civilian contractor.

A lifelong learner, Bob earned three master's degrees. He enjoyed music, reading, watching a good flick, and caring for the neighborhood outdoor kitties.

He is survived by his devoted wife of 54 years, Linda; daughters Jennifer (Jon) and Suzanne (Scott); five grandchildren, Morgan, Julianna, Kirsten, Ryan, and Sam; and his beloved stray-turned-house cat, Scruffy.

In keeping with Bob's wishes, the family will honor his life quietly. They are grateful for the kindness and support of friends.
