Robert "Bob" G. Farrington, Iii

December 3, 1941 — January 17, 2021

Robert (Bob) G. Farrington, III passed away peacefully on January 17, 2021 at the age of 79 years. He was the beloved husband to Elaine Falgout Farrington for 58 years; he was father and hero to Aleta O’Connor (Shan), Heidi Landry (Keith), and Madeline Farrington. “Paw” was a loving grandfather to Kasey Arabie (Kolby), Justin Landry (Lesley), Garrett Landry (Mary Frances), Gabriel O’Connor, and Gavyn O’Connor. He was especially proud to be great-grandfather to John Michael, Elijah, Kollins, and Lillie. Bob was preceded in death by his father, Robert Farrington, Jr., survived by his mother, Verna Ehret, sisters Sutzie Whitman and Jerri Smitko, and nephews Scott Landry, Jr. and Max Smitko. He will also be greatly missed by his cousin and best friend, Bubba Oubre, who he thought of as a brother.
Bob grew up in Marrero, Louisiana and graduated from West Jefferson High School and Nicholls State University. He retired from the Jefferson Parish School System where he was an educator and administrator for 40 years. He was a lifetime member of the Metairie Masonic Lodge #444. Bob enjoyed working on his farm in Mississippi and always had a project in the works. He was a jack of all trades, a master of many; there wasn’t anything that he couldn’t build or repair. He was a true patriarch, and the most important thing in his life was to spend time with his family.
Our family would like to thank Concerned Care Hospice for their care.
