He leaves his wife, Corrine (Smith) Puliafico, of Rutland, his son Steve and his wife, Missy of Rutland, his daughter, Gayla Bieksha and her husband Steve of Hubbardston, and his daughter Amy Puliafico of Worcester, and his grandchildren Casey, Troy, Carson, Alison and Benjamin.

He was also a member of the Rutland Sportsman’s Club and the Hubbardston Rod and Gun Club where he sponsored and played on a softball team for many years. When he "retired" from playing, he enjoyed going to the games where he watched the next two generations of his family play ball. Bob also enjoyed his two trips a year up North to play golf with the Chestna gang.
He owned and operated Bob Puliafico Lawn Sprinkler Service for many years.
