Robert “Bob” Scavone Sr., age 73, of Parkland, Fla., passed away peacefully on Sunday, July 27, 2025, after a years-long battle with Parkinson’s disease. He is survived by his beloved wife, Lucille, and their two children, Robert Jr. and Kimberly Anne.
Bob was born on May 22, 1952, in Brooklyn, N.Y.. He moved to Florida in the late 1970s with less than $1,000 to his name. His family soon followed. Over the next four decades, Bob built two very successful commercial flooring contracting companies. In 1990, he founded Total Flooring Contractors, Inc., one of the most recognized and respected companies in the country.
“Total Flooring Contractors was a highly respected commercial contractor, and they had a reputation for adhering to industry standards,” said NTCA Executive Director Bart Bettiga. “Robert Scavone Sr. supported the industry by allowing his son Robert Scavone Jr. to get involved in the NTCA Technical Committee. Robert Scavone Jr. contributed to the creation of many new documents in the NTCA Reference Manual thanks to the support of his dad. NTCA is grateful for the contributions of the Scavone family, and we celebrate the life of Robert Scavone Sr. with them.”
Bob was deeply passionate about his work and took great pride in providing for his family. Beyond his career, Bob had a lifelong love for music. A talented musician, he played the drums, guitar, and piano.
Robert touched countless lives and leaves behind a legacy of generosity, kindheartedness, and unwavering determination.
