WILLIAMSTOWN, Mass. —  Robert J. “Bob” Senger, 66, of Williamstown, passed away on November 1, 2026, following a lengthy illness.

Born in Ridgewood, New Jersey, Bob was the son of the late Henry and Teresa Senger. He moved with his family to Williamstown as a teenager and graduated from Mount Greylock Regional High School. He later studied automotive mechanics at a technical school in Enfield, Connecticut.

Bob was best known as the longtime owner and operator of Braytonville Garage in North Adams, which he ran for 40 years before retiring in December 2023. Throughout his career, he earned the trust and loyalty of generations of customers through his honesty, dedication, and willingness to go the extra mile.

When The Berkshire Eagle featured Bob upon his retirement, he reflected on the personal relationships he had built over the years, saying, “Some places just treat somebody as a number, but I know my customers and they know me.”

That sentiment reflected Bob’s approach to life and business. He valued friendship, loyalty, and treating people with kindness and respect.

A lifelong automobile enthusiast, Bob enjoyed classic cars and riding his Harley-Davidson motorcycle with friends on weekends. He also treasured the many friendships he developed throughout the Berkshire community.

Bob is survived by his brother, Henry Senger and his wife, Ruddy; his sister, Tressa Senger; his brother and devoted caretaker, Carl Senger, and his husband, Jeffrey; and his brothers-in-law, John Dimling, husband of the late Gretchen, and Bob Munroe, husband of the late Mary. He was also a proud uncle to 8 nieces and nephews and 9 great-nieces and great-nephews.

He was predeceased by his parents, Henry and Teresa Senger, and his two sisters, Mary Frances Munroe and Gretchen Dimling.

Bob will be fondly remembered by his family, friends, former employees, and the many loyal customers whose lives he touched over four decades.
