He was loved by his four grandchildren, Rachel and Kathryn Ionta, Eric Ostlund and Bryleigh Grace Mangiulli. He also leaves behind many loved nieces, nephews, grand nieces and grand nephews. Bob’s professional career started at Phelp’s Dodge merging to Kabelmetal, Celwave/Cablewave and finally becoming RFS. He was instrumental in pioneering many techniques and inventions for transmission line operations to high frequency cable connections and antennas. He earned the loyalty and respect of his co-workers and industry colleagues both in the USA and globally. To recognize Bob’s extraordinary achievements RFS held “Bob Mangiulli” Day in recognition of his 50 years of dedicated service. He was a long time member of the “Wire and Cable International Industry, Inc.” The most important part of Bob’s life was the love he had for his wife, children, grandchildren and family.

He will dearly miss his loyal companion (Dog) Bella Rose and the simple pleasure of sitting outside on the patio.
