Robert Jerome Brickey

What a blessing to have had Robert Jerome Brickey as my dad. Reading these wonderful tributes does my heart very well along with my mom's. As a 10 year-old my dad would sit me on his lap and steer as we drove rural roads in Pennsylvania. At 14 I drove his LTD on Interstate 80 on the way back from a Yankees game. Looking back I have to laugh because my dad was a stickler for rules but trusted me enough to drive his car on an interstate at 14 - when he was SOBER! Another great memory; from 1999-2002 he was my assistant basketball coach at Fremont Intermediate School. He didn't know a thing about hoops but having him there was fantastic. I could go on for a while and I will if any of you want to call me LOL

From the time we first met in Junior High until the end, I knew him to be kind, helpful and loving. His conversations were always lively and filled with quick humor; a delightful man, a GIFT in my life. His passing leaves a void for many. Blessings to his whole family.

We always enjoyed out conversations with Bob. He was a soft spoken, kind man. Even when his health was failing him he liked to sit and talk. We feel so fortunate that we got to sit with him at Marina's birthday party shortly before he passed. Becky and I had a nice visit with him. Steve Snyder and Becky Varnum

Bob was a wonderful man. He was always kind and helpful. I loved our excursions and will always think of the nice times I had on his side and the things he showed me. Bob had a great humor and I could enjoy many moments with him.

My love goes to all who loved Robert Brickey. For the short time that I knew him he conveyed a true spirit of generosity and caring. At one point he mentioned to me that before he died he hoped to be given a grandchild. And it was a few years later that I saw Marina comfortably sitting on her grandpa's lap. It did my heart good.

My co-worker, my dining companion, my friend and a true gentleman. A great 40 years of friendship. My life is better for having known him.
To the Brickey family, my best to you all and my thanks for sharing Bob with the rest of us.

My love to you all...lets celebrate his life and remember him always.
