Robert “Bob” Nielsen, 70, of Center Moriches, New York, passed away peacefully with his family by his side on December 19, 2025, in Pawleys Island, South Carolina.

Born and raised on Long Island, Bob lived a life rooted in the things he loved most. He spent countless hours on the water fishing, enjoyed time on the golf course, and found real joy at home in his kitchen, lovingly known as “Bubba’s Kitchen,” where he cooked meals for family and friends.

A skilled craftsman and the owner of RPN Inc., Bob devoted his career to building beautiful homes throughout the East End of Long Island. This work was the honor of his life, and he took great pride in the quality and care he put into every home he built.

He is survived by his daughter, Shelby Nielsen, and his mother, Deloris Nielsen. A celebration of Bob’s life will be held at a later date.

Cremation Services Direct (843-651-1194) of Myrtle Beach, South Carolina is assisting the family with the arrangements.
