Robert Joseph Siviski “Bump”

WINSLOW – Robert Joseph Siviski, affectionately known as “Bump” to his beloved grandchildren, passed away peacefully, surrounded by family on May 24, 2025, at the age of 71. A lifelong Mainer with a big heart and an even bigger laugh, Bob’s presence filled every room — and every life — he touched.

Born on Christmas Day in 1953, in Waterville, Maine, Bob was the son of Joseph Siviski and Clara Terrio, and stepson of Lee Hapworth. He grew up alongside his siblings Kathy, Shirley, and Tom, graduating from Winslow High School before earning a technical degree in machine tool technology from Central Maine Community College and later a Bachelor of Science degree, Cum Laude, from Thomas College.

Bob’s career began at Keyes Fiber followed by many years at Scott Paper in Winslow. Eventually he moved into sales, then returned to his true passion — working with his hands — by finishing his career as a machinist at Formtek in Clinton. His precision and skill were matched only by his love for the work.

Bob spent several years as a Mason, holding many roles including Master of the Waterville Lodge. He enjoyed giving back to the community in several ways from his work at the Masonic lodge to years coaching and volunteering in athletics when his kids were growing up.

At home in Winslow, Bob built a life centered around family and the land he cherished. Surrounded by his maple syrup setup, apple, peach and Christmas trees, a thriving garden, and his loyal dogs, Bob found joy in simple pleasures. He could fix anything, knew something about everything, and made time for hunting, fishing, and good conversation — usually punctuated by his unmistakable, booming laugh.

Bob shared 47 loving years of marriage with his wife, Sandra Jean Siviski. Together, they raised three children: Amy, Ryan, and Sarah, who carry forward his legacy of humor, curiosity, and compassion.

Bob will be deeply missed and fondly remembered for his warmth, wisdom, gregarious nature, and the joy he brought to those around him.

He was preceded in death by his father Joseph Siviski, mother Clara Hapworth, and brother Tom Siviski.

Bob is survived by his loving wife Sandy; his daughter Amy Siviski-Bolduc, son-in-law Ryan Bolduc, and grandchildren Emma and Jack Bolduc; his son Ryan Siviski and grandson Bronek Siviski; and his daughter Sarah Siviski, son-in-law Gavin Webb, and grandson Dermot Webb. He also leaves behind his sisters Kathy White and Shirley Madore, along with many extended family members and close friends who will miss his generosity, wit, and joyful spirit.

A church service will be held at Bob’s church, Shawmut Chapel, on Saturday, June 21 at 1:00 p.m. in Shawmut, Maine. A celebration of life will follow on Sunday, June 22 at 1:00 p.m. at the Winslow VFW, which will include a Masonic ceremony.

In honor of Bob’s life, laughter, and legacy, his family invites all who knew him to share in remembering the man who meant so much to so many.
