Family was the center of Bob's life. He met the love of his life and future wife, Joan (Jody) Edwards, when they were students at Pocono Mountain High School. They traveled together, worked together and made a home together over the next fifty years. The greatest joy of Bob and Jody's life were their children, Justin and Mallory. Their life was full of family trips to Myrtle Beach, gathering with friends and enjoying the beautiful house they designed. Their door was always open and their home became a magnet for friends, family and spontaneous fun. In recent years Bob greatest joy was spending time with his three beautiful granddaughters.
Bob was an intelligent, dynamic and caring man who touched many lives. His mischievous smile and his hardy laugh brought a smile to his many friends and family. His easy, friendly way with people won him a large and eclectic group of friends. Bob was equally comfortable entertaining executives at the Paris Air Show as he was having a drink with friends after work at the local watering hole. It was a gift. He will be missed.
Bob is survived by his loving wife for over 52 years, Jody, Oldsmar, FL; daughter Mallory Rubino and her daughters Aubrey, Finley and Blake, Clearwater, FL; sister Donna Racher, Marietta, GA; brothers Mark, Cresco, PA and Gary, Harkers Island, NC. He was predeceased by his son Justin and his parents. Services are at the convenience of the family. In lieu of flowers, contributions may to the American Cancer Society.
