ROBERT F. FASSBACH

FASSBACH ROBERT F.

Robert (Bob) Franklin Fassbach of New Castle, PA, born December 24, 1942 to Charles and Ursula Fassbach, died the morning of July 27, 2018 in Williamsport, PA due to kidney and cardiac complications. A graduate of Hampton High School ('60) and Westminster College ('64), Bob also earned an M.Div. at Wesley Theological Seminary ('69) to pursue ministry in the Presbyterian Church (USA). Life had other plans as Bob entered a home renovation business with his brother followed by a long career in real estate in the Washington D.C. area with Shannon and Luchs, Coldwell Banker, and Weichert Realtors. It was in the Washington D.C. suburbs that he eventually met his second wife Bette and inherited her four children with open arms. He would always say that he loved Lisa, Amy, Susan, and Andrew as his own - and he did. Following a tumultuous real estate market in 1991, Bob with Bette decided to relocate to New Wilmington, PA where son Andrew began college at his alma mater. From there he owned two businesses - a restaurant in Mercer, PA and a Sears Store in Grove City, PA. After they moved to New Castle, Bob eventually retired and dedicated his time to a highly visited site for seniors called Senior Ark. He is survived by his sister, Carol Gottron of Gibsonia, PA, and step-children Lisa Tatusko, Amy LeCates, Susan McNulty, and Andrew Tatusko, and nine grandchildren. Robert's family will welcome friends from 10:00 a.m. until 11:00 a.m. Tuesday, July 31, 2018 at the KING FUNERAL HOME AND CREMATION SERVICES, INC., 2841 Woodland Circle in Allison Park. A Funeral service will be held at 11:00 a.m. on Tuesday, July 31, at the Funeral Home. He will be laid to rest at Dorseyville Cemetery in Dorseyville. Expressions of sympathy may be shared with Robert's family at
