Robert P. "Bob" Belsher, age 64, of Middletown, DE, passed away three days before his 65 birthday while on vacation in Nova Scotia, Canada, on Monday, June 16, 2025.
Born in Montreal, Canada on June 19, 1960, he was a son of Barbara Joyce (Belsher) Knoepfler and the late Alvin W. Belsher.
Bob will be undoubtedly remembered for his kindness. He gave excellent hugs and was a dedicated German Shepherd dad. Bob had a fondness for cruises and all things Disney. He was a proud Canadian and always showed unwavering love and support to his friends and family.
He will be sorely missed.
In addition to his father, Bob was preceded in death by his sister, Ann Belsher and his brother, William Belsher. He is survived by his mother, Barbara Knoepfler; husband, William Bombard; brothers, Ronald Belsher (Dar) and Michael Knoepfler; niece, Rebecca Belsher; aunt, Maureen Taylor (John); along with many nieces, nephews, and cousins.
All services will be held privately.
