Robert Noonan Obituary

Robert R. "Bob" Noonan, age 79, of Erie, passed away on Wednesday, December 4, 2019, surrounded by his loving family after a courageous battle with multiple health issues. He was born in Erie on November 11, 1940, son of the late Harry and Evelyn Sauers Noonan; brother of Rosie Malliard, and the late Evelyn Eichenlaub; but was raised by his grandmother, Florence "Nanny" Noonan.

Bob was a man of great faith and his family finds comfort in knowing that he is resting peacefully with the Lord.

Bob is survived by his wife of 60 years, Sandra Noonan; two daughters, Kim Makarowski (Mike) and Cheryl Lepkowski (Joe); six grandchildren, Jen (Bill), Angie, Staci, Ron (Danielle), Amber and Jered (Becca); nine great-grandchildren, William, Kayle, Adriana, Miranda, Alanna, Ava, Hayden, Asialynn and Noah; one great-great-grandson, Dante; and nieces, nephews and many cousins.

Bob enjoyed all things nature, including fishing, hunting and gardening. He also enjoyed scuba diving and traveling. Bob was an avid fan of the Pittsburgh Steelers and boxing. He liked playing guitar and singing with his family.

But of all these, it was the time spent with family, especially his grandchildren, that he cherished most of all. Papa is a simple word, but to his grandchildren, it meant open arms and endless love. His presence, tall tales and humor will be missed.

The family would like to extend their gratitude to the medical staff at St. Vincent Health Center, especially the ICU Team, who assisted Bob with a peaceful transition.

Friends may call at the Dusckas Funeral Home, Inc., 2607 Buffalo Rd., on Monday from 2 to 4 p.m. and 6 p.m. until the time of the Funeral Service there at 7:30 p.m. Interment will be held at Wintergreen Gorge Cemetery.

most people are blessed with two sets of grandparents, truly grateful for my grandparents and love them ever so much. I was blessed to have another set of Grandparents, that took us and treated us like their own. Yes, I have many fond memories with my 2 sets of grandparents, but this set was unique. They were there when my bother and I needed them, whether it was to cool off in their pool in the heat of summer or to fly down their hill on the greased up toboggans. They were always there for us to walk up the "mighty Kristy hill" with our Chocolate cookies to enjoy while we hear stories about the past, and always warned, not to pet blackberry their cat. I am very luck to have special people in my life to watch me grow up to the man that I am told, who helped to mold me. I might know have 3 grandparents in heaven being my guardian angel and protecting me. Now I have a 4th to watch over me and keep me safe, I will always treasure my memories of time spend with Bob. I know now that you are at peace and still continuing to watch over us and protect us.

I had the pleasure of knowing you for over 10 years and every time we would come over you greeted me with a firm hand shake and a loving smile. You were so loved and loved your family back with a love that was pure. With your family I seen and understood exactly what "Family" really means. Thank you for your kindness. The world will be a little darker without you being on this earth. You were a man who was truly, truly adored. May you rest in peace.
