Robert E. "Bob" Verzella, 50, of Mechanicsburg, formerly of Altoona, passed away Monday at his residence. He was born in New Brighton, the son of Maureen (Flickinger) Verzella and the late Thomas Verzella.
Bob was twice married, first to Jennifer Cline and then to Erin Heather Erlinger. They both preceded him in death.
He is survived by his mother, Maureen. Bob was devoted to his two loving daughters, Abigail Verzella at home and Olivia Verzella (Bo Fauble) of Tacoma, Wash. Also surviving is his brother, Andrew Verzella (Bonnie) of Shallotte, N.C.; his special family friend, Dan Beck; and his aunts, uncles and cousins.
Bob was a 1993 graduate of Altoona Area High School and worked in IT for Delta Dental of PA. He had previously worked at Disney World in the telecom department.
Bob was witty, opinionated and usually able to get a laugh from those around him. He was a voracious reader and a delightful cook, which our minds and stomachs will miss dearly. His love for family was always absolute, even through the many difficulties he faced. Bob was never one to back down from what he believed was right and the world is quieter without him in it.
He enjoyed listening to music of all genres and playing video games. He also liked playing the piano and singing at many different venues.
Services will be held at the convenience of the family. Interment will take place at Blair Memorial Park.
Arrangements are by The Stevens Mortuary Inc., Altoona.
