Robert P. Behm, 90, passed away in his Wyomissing residence on Tuesday, August 5, 2025, with his loving wife, Christine, by his side. They shared 26 wonderful years together.
Born in West Reading on August 27, 1934, he was the son of the late Robert and LaRue (Ravel) Behm. He was a graduate of Reading High School, Class of 1952. Bob was a co-founder and past president of Admixtures, Inc., currently located in Wernersville, PA. He was well known in the Tri-State area for his knowledge of concrete technology, and was past Director of American Concrete International, Delaware Valley Chapter, Philadelphia, and the PA Aggregates and Concrete Association, Harrisburg. Bob never actually retired, working right up until last month. He had turned over most of the business to his son, Jeff. He was also a former Co-Finance Chairman of the Berks County Republican Party and a Director and Treasurer of the Berks YR Club.
Bob spent all his life as a Berks County resident, with a vacation home in Cape Coral, Florida and most recently a condo in Ocean City, New Jersey where he wanted to be as much as possible.
Left to cherish his memory are wife, Christine (Leitzel) Behm; son, Jeffrey Behm and his wife Dianne, of Sinking Spring, daughter Jacqueline Beck of Sinking Spring, and step daughter Angela Price and her husband Rick, of Raleigh, North Carolina. He was a grandfather to Jessica Nelson and Carly Beck, and step grandfather to Stacey Harper, Nicole Judge, Marci Zerbe and Madison Walley. He was great grandfather to Dante Pittman and Jocelyn Pyper and step-great grandfather to Kendall Spinka, Max Spinka, Ruger Zerbe, Wyatt Zerbe and Reeves Pike.
A Celebration of Life will be held on Saturday, August 30, 2025 at 11:00 am in Immanuel U.C.C, 99 S Waverly Street, Shillington, PA, 19607, where Bob had been a member for over 60 years.
