Robert L. "Bob" Patton, 74, of Tyrone, passed away Wednesday surrounded by family. He was born in Philipsburg, a son of the late Alvin "Jack" and Effie (Estep) Patton.
On Oct. 10, 1986, in Winchester, Va., he married Betsy (Androski) Patton, who survives.
Also surviving is a sister, Julia Baxter; numerous nieces and nephews, including a special nephew, Steve (Deb) Patton; special granddaughter, Faith (Brandon) Patton Hugney; a great-grandchild who is on the way; and his faithful companion, Jack.
Along with his parents, he was preceded in death by four siblings: Lloyd "Butch" Patton, Jack Patton, Donna Matts and Deborah Ogershok.
Bob was a 1970 graduate of Tyrone Area High School. He owned and operated Patton's Notary in Tyrone for almost 30 years.
He was of the Protestant faith.
Bob was a member of the Tyrone Elks and a social member of the Blazing Arrow Hook and Ladder Fire Company.
He enjoyed hunting, fishing and watching sports, especially Notre Dame and Indianapolis Colts football, and cooking for his family. Bob was very social so what he enjoyed most of all was walking his dog, Jack, and talking to people.
At Bob's request, there will be no public services.
Arrangements are by Richard H. Searer Funeral Home Inc., Tyrone.
Contributions in his memory may be made to the Tyrone Area Food Bank, 1200 Logan Ave., Tyrone, PA 16686.
