In addition to his parents and daughter-in-law he was preceded in death by his brother Ronald Wilson.
Bob was a salesman for Nabisco and a member of St. George Maronite Church of Uniontown. Bob had many joys in his life, but none more important than his family and extended family. His eyes lit up when he spoke of them, the pride evident with every word. As a husband there was none better, as a father he was a teacher, a role model and an inspiration, and as a pappy, old pappy and Uncle Bob. He was loving, kind, and caring. He never knew a stranger and made all those that he touched feel like the most important person in his life. He would go out of his way for anyone in need, always the first one to help and the last one to leave. We are all better for knowing him and blessed to get to love him. He will be missed beyond words.
