Robert Drabik, lifelong Hackettstown resident, passed away on Sunday, December 22, 2024, in Morristown, NJ. He was 76 years old.
Bob was born in Newton, NJ on March 14, 1948. He graduated from Hackettstown High School, and outside of religiously attending all sporting events his daughter and grandchildren participated in, he loved to golf. Sports were a way of life, and his loyalty never wavered from the NY Giants and NY Mets, despite their performance. Always a fun time when he was around, and he was loved by many.
He spent 50+ years at ABB, with progressing leadership roles. Discussions of retirement were always coming up, but he truly enjoyed what he was doing, and formed numerous lasting friendships. He was the unofficial ‘Beverage Manager’ of the company golf league and looked forward to Tuesday afternoons.
Bob is survived by his daughter, Jill Drabik, and two (2) grandchildren, Evan, and Nicole Bruzzichesi.
A viewing will be held at Cochran Funeral Home, 905 High Street, Hackettstown, NJ 07840 on Monday, December 30, 2024, from 10 am – 12 pm.

December 28, 2024 at 12:36 amWe were friends all the way back to grade school. Oh! what a great time all of us teenagers had back at Hackettstown High School in the 60s!!! Bob brought his Temptations album to one of our parties & never took it home! It is still in my record collection to this day. I moved away & would only see Bob now & then through out the years. I would remind him, “I still have your album, Bob”!! We would both laugh & remember those days. He always had a great smile. Rest in Peace Bob; I’ll see ya on the other side.

December 29, 2024 at 10:04 amSorry for your loss. He was a great person, and I had the pleasure of working with him. During an inventory when we were counting. Robert would make a joke. The team would laugh and try to refocus back on hand to the next one joke he would tell. Sorry again for your loss.
