Robert, fondly known as Bob, was born to Fred and Ruth Linda (Brown) on April 10, 1943, in Trenton, NJ. Bob graduated high school in Florence, NJ and attended Trenton Junior College prior to being drafted to the US Army in 1966 where he earned the rank of Sergeant and spent time stationed in Germany. He was a hardworking driver/salesman for Snap-on Tools, Murray’s Steaks and finally Bottcher America from which he retired after more than 25 years of employment. He was a proud member of the NRA and the Falls Township Rifle and Pistol Association. Bob loved animals, studying the family ancestry, gardening, fishing, camping, a good nap, and watching Penn State football as well as the Phillies and Eagles. He was a great cook and made the best stuffed cabbage.
Robert is survived by his loving wife of 56 years, Margaret (Kelly) Linda and three children, Jennifer Patton of Pennsburg, PA, Robert F. Linda of Levittown, PA, and Allison and Daniel Pilla of Morrisville, PA; his granddaughter Lisa Rock and her husband Thomas Kluger and grandson Jack Pilla. He was predeceased by his parents Fred and Ruth as well as his brother, Freddy. He loved his family more than anything and his grandchildren were his pride and joy.
