ROBERT CANTOR Obituary

CANTOR ROBERT Age 80, of Media, PA, passed away on May 3, 2022, after a long illness. He and his wife, Nancy Laver Cantor raised their three daughters in East Goshen and lived in their home on Christine Lane for over fifty years before moving to Media in 2021. Rob's love and first priority was always his wife and family. Before his health deteriorated, he took great joy in sailing on the Chesapeake, skiing, and going to the shore with Nancy, their children and grandchildren. He was a voracious reader, computer whiz and avid gardener. He and Nancy were a couple for over sixty-five years and were married for almost fifty-nine years. Robert's parents, Abe and Nettie Cantor, and his in-laws, Jack and Roslyn Laver, predeceased him. In addition to his wife, Nancy, he is survived by his children Donna and Neil Meyer of Media, PA, Cherie and Scott Corbo of Naugatuck, CT, and Jaclyn Cantor of West Chester, PA and six grandchildren Joshua Corbo, Emily Meyer (Will Higgins}, Ryan Corbo, Abby Meyer, Jacob Corbo, and Hallie Meyer. He is also survived by his sister, Karen and her husband, Wayne Miller, nieces and a nephew and great nieces and a great nephew. Robert was born in Philadelphia on May 7, 1941. He graduated from Cheltenham High School in 1959 and Temple University in 1963. He owned an orthopedic shoe store with his uncle until his health forced him to retire in 1988. His book has now closed. Services will take place on Friday, May 6, 2022, at 1:00 P.M. at Temple Sholom in Broomall, 55 Church Lane, Broomall, PA 19008. Luncheon will follow at the house. We will be sitting Shiva at the house Friday and Saturday night from 6-8 P.M. In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations made to a charity that reminds you of Rob and the things he enjoyed. Examples include: Reading is Fundamental, Malvern Library, and East Goshen Park. www.goldsteinsfuneral.com

From me, whom you knew only casually, all those decades ago, sincere condolences for the loss of your dear husband Robert. I enjoyed seeing your parents' names in the obituary as they were the best friends of mine, Beatie and Irv. I will never forget Uncle Jack and Aunt Ros. Best regards, Arnold
