Robert Gundeck

GUNDECK, Robert Robert Gundeck, of Atlanta, Georgia, died at his home on Saturday morning at the age of 71. Bob was born in Greenwich, Connecticut on March 25, 1943, to Anne and William Gundeck. He was raised there with his younger brother Richard until he attended Rollins College in Winter Park, FL. It was there that he met Diane Manning (Gundeck) on a blind date. They were married for 48 years and had two children, Ethan and Winifred. He received his M.B.A. from American University and quickly started his own retail stereo chain called Atlantis Sound. Some of his career highlights include: serving as manufacturer's representative for Pioneer Electronics and Apple Computer, and becoming CEO of American Business Products. A scratch golfer in his prime, Bob was a member of several country clubs, including Cherokee, Merion (outside of Philadelphia), and Hole in the Wall (Naples, FL). He loved to laugh and make people laugh, resorting to his gorilla suit and his collection of fake dog poop, if necessary. He was a gracious host and generous friend to many. Above everything, Bob was a family man. Never has anyone been more proud of his kids and grandkids (Anni, Louisa, and Alexander). He loved life, and he will be missed. Funeral services will be held at Trinity Presbyterian Church, Wednesday, January 14, at 2 p.m.
