Robert Theodore Nemes

Robert Theodore Nemes was born in McKeesport, Pennsylvania on November 27th 1929. Upon his graduation from Duquesne High School, he entered the US Air Force to travel, a dream of his he fulfilled. During his 26 years of service, sixteen of those were spent in overseas assignments throughout Europe and Asia. While in Scotland, Bob met Margaret, the love of his life, and they were happily married for 52 years. Together they raised six children and were blessed with 18 grandchildren and four great-grandchildren. Upon retirement from the Air Force with many decorations for meritorious service, he began his second career with the Orlando Postal Service in 1974. The transition from one public service to another was easy because of the values the military and his parents had instilled in him. After his second retirement from a distinguished career, he spent the next years involved in his community as a volunteer and was a great friend to all who were lucky enough to know him. He especially enjoyed the time he spent with his beloved grandchildren and working on his lovely garden, where he grew roses for his wife. On November 16th, with all of his children holding his hand, Dad bid farewell and joined his beloved wife Margaret who had preceded him in death in January 2009. Visitation will be held Friday, November 21st at 10 am with memorial services to follow at 11 am at Baldwin Fairchild Goldenrod Chapel, 7520 Aloma Ave., Winter Park. In lieu of flowers, the family wishes that memorial contributions be made to The Brookestrong Foundation at www.brookestrong.org or sent to 3842 Gatlin Woods Drive, Orlando, FL 32812.
