Robert Flubacher Obituary

Published by Cavanagh Family Funeral Homes, Inc. & Private Crematory - Norwood on May 14, 2018.
Robert J. Flubacher Sr. passed away on May 14th, 2018 at Crozer Hospital. Bob was born on May 5th 1933 in Philadelphia, PA. He graduated from Bartram High School in 1952. He met his wife Joyce in 1953 and they later married in 1955. Together they raised their 2 children Donna & Rob. He worked most of his life as a refinery worker for Sun Oil. After retirement, Bob drove for community transit for 15 years. Bob was a long time member of Southwestern Presbyterian Church for 51 years where he served as deacon, trustee and elder. He then joined Belmont Baptist Church in 2004 where he served up until his passing. Bob donated a lot of his time to helping around the church while his wife Joyce worked as church secretary. He enjoyed baseball and was an avid Phillies fan. Bob also enjoyed spending his time with his grandchildren and great grand-children. He was a big kid himself so it made him feel quite at home. He is pre-deceased by his daughter Donna. He is survived by his wife Joyce, his son Rob, his sister Barbara, his grandchildren: David, Allysa, Matthew, Chris, Cody, Ethan, Destiny, Tyler, & Rebecca, his great-grandchildren Jaylynn, Zachary, Bentlee, Colton, & Hunter. He is also survived by the many adopted grandchildren who had the honor of calling him Pop-Pop. Nothing is impossible for two when one of them is Jesus. Services will be held on Friday May 18th at New Hope Christian Church at 551 Paxon Hollow Rd. Broomall, PA 19008. Viewing from 8am-10:45am. Service at 11am. Burial to be followed at Edgewood Memorial Park. In lieu of flowers, memorial gifts may be sent to New Hope Christian Church.

I am the crossing guard at Chester Pike and Acres Drive. Bob and his wife would ride by everyday and give me a big hello. I always looked forward to seeing them. I did not know of his passing until after a friend of his that recently moved to Florida told me. I was saddened and hope he rests in peace with the Lord. I will always be grateful for his big hello.

Tom, Megan, Ken, and I are so sorry. We are going to miss Bob. He was kind and brought us into his family the moment we moved in two doors down over thirty years ago. Our dogs loved him, too! I am sure Donna greeted him at the gate.

Our prayers and condolences to Joyce and to the family. I loved Bob. He always wore a smile, and was always warm to me and to others. I best remember him leading songs and hymns at church and camp. Rest in the joy of your Lord good and faithful friend.

I was sorry to hear of Bob's passing - our loss, but heaven's gain. I'll always remember Bob as the songleader for worship services at Southwestern. He always had a smile on his face and was ready to greet everyone. Joyce, may God grant you peace and healing as you bear this loss.
