He was born in Rockville, Connecticut on July 25, 1936 to Helen (Grygiel) and Joseph Kulo, both deceased. He is also preceded in death by his brother, Frank Kulo. His older brother, Edwin (Walter) Kulo of Tipp City, Ohio, passed away just 4 days after Bob.

Bob was a Professor of English and Speech Communication at Salve Regina University in
Newport, Rhode Island. When he retired from there in 1996, Bob bought an RV to travel the country. He rekindled relationships with many family members and friends in his travels.

disposition. He loved to talk to people and tell stories.

    I sat with Bob every Sunday @ mass at Holy Cross C.C. in our pew. I so enjoyed being with him both as a religious and a friend. We had alot of special friends together, and he’ll be missed greatly. Love you my friend, Sr. John mary

    I was in the speech communications department with Bob at San Diego State University. I remember the two of us performing in a readers theater performance of the Hobbit.
    My wife and I went to Rhode Island while he was there and stayed with him and his mom. He was a giant Winston Churchill fan. Sorry to hear he is no longer with us

    Bob was a mentor for many years. He was my Professor at Salve, he was a friend that spent time with my wife and myself seeing all kinds of places including a extraordinary Christmas dinner and yuletide celebration at the Publick House in Sturbridge, MA.
    Between our friendship, Reader’s Theater and the Hobbit which he arranged for us to do on Channel 12 in Providence, RI, Bob was a man of many talents, an extraordinary mentor, and a good friend.
