Robert Solloway Obituary

Robert B. Solloway, Sr. of Hartly, DE, passed away at his home surrounded by his loving family on January 2, 2015 at the age of 78.

Robert enjoyed playing and managing men's slow pitch softball. He also loved to work in his garden and being outside. His favorite thing to do was take long leisurely trips to Lancaster, PA. His favorite time of year was Christmas so he could be found playing Christmas music all year long.

He is survived by his loving wife of 57 years, Nancy; three sons, Robbie, Jr. and his wife Lisa of Smyrna, Ron, Sr. and his wife Darlene of Millington, MD and Richard of Dewey Beach; his daughter, Debbie Goldstein and her husband Barry of Camden, DE; 13 grandchildren, Aaron, Ryan, Wade, Ron, Jr., Shawn, Ty, Brittingham, Vann, Quinn, Zach, Ben, Danielle and Marisa; 4 great grandchildren, Aiden, Cheyenne, Skylar and Peyton; siblings, Earl Solloway, James Solloway, Jack Solloway, Fletcher Solloway and his wife Doris, Audrey Clough, Sharon "Cookie" Dempsey and her husband Bill, and Bonnie Lightcap, and several extended family members.
