Robert Stanley Misiura

He worked in an Electronics Shop in California, was an assistant chef at a restaurant in Yellowstone National Park, Rode cross country on his motorcycle, put up electric poles on Ocracoke Island while living in a tent, worked at two pharmaceutical companies doing instrument repair, and other jobs too numerous to mention.

He met his wife Marjorie at Burroughs Wellcome Pharmaceutical Company and they were together for 38 years. Besides his wife, he is survived by a beloved step daughter, Eleanor Gailey and a step granddaughter, Ava Kate Gailey.

His life was an excellent example of self-reliance, for he fabricated and fixed everything he needed himself.
