SeaRobert “Bob” J. Scully Sr., a native and lifelong resident of Stephensville, was called to his heavenly home on Thursday, August 19, 2024, at the age of 80.

Bob was a loving and devoted husband, father, grandfather, brother and friend whose presence could light up any room. He had a remarkable ability to build a connection with everyone he met and never missed an opportunity for a warm hug when the opportunity presented itself. Bob was known for his straightforward honesty and his unfiltered advice was always appreciated by those around him.

He lived a full and varied life, indulging in passions such as golf, horseshoes and other sports. An exceptional cook, Bob was celebrated for his famous white bean pot and his seafood skills. His culinary talents were a major reason so many people visited his restaurant, Scully’s Seafood. But more than all of his accomplishments, Bob cherished the moments spent with his family cooking seafood together, whether at his home or at the home of a beloved sibling.

Surviving are his wife of 11 years, Susan Olivier Scully of Stephensville; his five children, Robert “Bert” James Scully Jr. and his wife Judy of Berwick, Steve Michael Scully Sr. of Morgan City, Sherie “Free” Scully Giroir and her husband Ronald of Stephensville, Bridget Scully of Morgan City and Bobbie Jo Dupuy and her husband Dwayne of Berwick; his 12 grandchildren, Tiffani, Brittany, Robert “Robbie” III, Emily, Steve Jr., Steward, Shaina, Ronald “Ronnie” Jr., Mary, Lillian “Lilly”, Ava and Zoie; and his 14 great-grandchildren. Bob is also survived by five siblings: Raymond Scully, Ann Racca, Wayne Scully, Judy Scully Solar and Kenny Scully.

His parents Raymond and Joyce Scully and his four siblings Ronald Scully, Danny Scully, Betty Malone and Cheryl Miller predeceased him.

The family requests that a memorial service be held on Friday, August 23, 2024 from 4:30 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. with a celebration of Bob’s life at 7:00 p.m. at Hargrave Funeral Home. In accordance with Bob’s wishes, a private family memorial service will be held at a later date.
