Bob was proud to grow up on the McConnell family farm and had a passion for International Harvesters.

He graduated from Penn Cambria High School in 1976.

After high school, he attended school in Toledo, Ohio, to learn to be a butcher. He then worked at Latterner’s Market in Cresson as a butcher for a short time before moving to Elizabeth, N.J., where he worked at American Envelope. After several years in New Jersey, Bob moved back home and worked at Cenveo Envelope in Bellwood.

Bob was an Auxiliary Life Member at the Sankertown VFW Post 7377.

In his spare time, he enjoyed watching the Pittsburgh Pirates and NASCAR races. Most of all, Bob cherished spending time with his family.
