Robert "Rob"
A.
Rines
April 3, 1957 - December 11, 2020
Born in Providence, Rhode Island
Resided in Johnston, Rhode Island
Robert “Rob” A. Rines, age 63 of Johnston, passed away peacefully on Friday, December 11, 2020. He was the beloved husband of Donna L. (McKenna) Rines for 38 beautiful years. Born in Providence, he was a son of the late Kenneth Rines and Norma (Forsberg) Rines.
Robert was employed by Dave’s Marketplace for 40 years where he worked tirelessly as their advertising manager. A gifted artist, Robert was an avid musician, photographer, and a most passionate videographer, where his gifts and talents truly excelled. Robert would often be found creating and producing vivid video presentations of family events as well as the annual year-end employee retrospective video for Dave’s Marketplace, a wonderfully entertaining showcase. Robert received many blessings throughout his life, none more important than the heart he received, which allowed him to spend more time with those whom he deeply loved and cared for, especially his two adoring daughters. Because of this opportunity, he was not only afforded the blessing of walking both of his daughters down the aisle on their wedding days, but he was able to witness the birth of his twin grandsons and was gifted time to spend precious moments with them both.
He was the loving father of Katelyn E. DeFelice (husband, Damon) and Kelley A. Rizzo (husband, Antonino); cherished grandfather of Austin Dennis DeFelice and Rylan Robert DeFelice; brother of Richard S. Rines (wife, Cathy); brother-in-law of Evelyn M. Iannotti (husband, Daniel) and Robert P. McKenna. Robert is also survived by six adoring nieces.
A Mass of Christian Burial will be privately celebrated on Friday, December 18, 2020 in St. Robert Bellarmine Church with a private burial service to follow in Highland Memorial Park Cemetery, Johnston.
