Survived by wife Patricia, children, Robert Jr (Jacqueline Smith), Ann (Kathy Marszalskowski), Sarah DeHart (Mark) and Douglas (Michael Natale). two grandchildren, Jeffrey (Lisa) and Fiona (Lewis Harry) and two great-grandchildren, Ethan Eberle and Owen.
Bob attended Hobart College where he met his future bride, Isobel. He was drafted into the Navy following graduation and served for two years. Following his discharge, he worked in the chemical industry for Rohm & Haas his entire career. His work enabled him to see the world as he travelled to Asia, South America and to spend four years with his family on an extended assignment in Sweden. This instilled a love of travel that enabled him to visit all 50 states and multiple countries around the world.
Following retirement Bob and Issy moved to Seven Lakes, NC where they enjoyed an active life while spending part of their summers at the family house in Cooperstown NY. Bob was an avid tennis and golf player who enjoyed playing into his early 80s. One of his fondest memories was, while living in Sweden, playing in daylight at midnight. Following his first wife’s passing, Bob married Pat in 2016 and they enjoyed eight years together.
