Bob was eagerly looking forward to seeing his first great-great grandchild due in June.

Bob resided in Uniontown, PA, for 86 years, was an active member of the Uniontown Church of the Brethren and the Golden Circle Sunday School class. He graduated from Uniontown High School in 1942 and Juniata College in 1950.He worked for his grandfather, Roy A.

He was a charter member of the Fayette County Agricultural Improvement Association and served many years on the Fayette County Fair Board.  His steadfast service there was very kindly acknowledged by the PA Dept. of Agriculture and the Fair Board in 2019 when he was named Friend of the Fayette Fair.  He was also a longtime member of the Uniontown Exchange Club and Isaac Walton League. 

Bob led a full, long, and fulfilling life. He loved being outdoors; he enjoyed mowing, gardening and spending endless hours clearing trails, cutting down dead trees and splitting wood at the cabin he and Betty owned in the mountain. You may recall seeing him chewing on a Marsh Wheeling cigar.
