Robert Clarence Waite Jr.

Robert “Rob” Clarence Waite, Jr., 76, passed away on Thursday, March 9, 2023 in Mobile, Alabama. He was born to Robert Clarence Waite, Sr. and Dorothy Bertram Waite on January 23, 1947 in Mobile. Rob heroically served his country as Military Police in Vietnam with the United States Air Force. He owned and operated his own lawn care business for several years, and retired as maintenance manager from CPSI. Rob was an avid outdoorsman – he loved deer hunting, fishing, and playing golf. He was also an Alabama Football fan. Above all else, Rob loved God, his family, and his friends. Every night while Rob was in the hospital, his brother-in-law and sister-in-law, Bill and Lorraine Lewis, would call and pray for him over the phone – which brought great comfort because Rob was a devoted Christian. He was a generous soul, and would always lend a helping hand. Rob was a wonderful husband, father, and brother. He will be greatly missed.

Rob was preceded in death by his son, Gregory “Greg” Robert Waite.

He is survived by his loving wife, Diane Waite; daughter, Amelia “Amy” Waite; two sisters, Betty Waddell and Sharon Mason; as well as a host of other cherished family and friends.

Visitation for Rob will be held on Thursday, March 16, 2023 from 5 p.m. until 7 p.m. at Pine Crest Funeral Home on Dauphin Island Parkway in Mobile, Alabama.

In lieu of flowers, the family requests you make a donation to your charity of choice.
