It is with heavy hearts that we share the passing of Robert J. Dauer, a loving husband, devoted father, and cherished grandfather. Robert left us peacefully with his daughter Marcia by his side on September 11, 2025, joining his beloved wife, Jeannette (nee LiPira), in eternal rest.
Robert was a pillar of strength and warmth for his family. He took great pride in being a father to Nancy (Joseph) Meiler, Marcia Dauer, Sally (Rick) Murphey, and the late Betsy (late Mark) Fleischman. His legacy continues through his beloved grandchildren, including Suzanne (Brad) Tudman and Elizabeth (Sam) Dyson, as well as his great-granddaughter, Penelope Tudman, who illuminated his life with joy.
Robert held a special bond with his siblings: dear brother to Michael (late Lisa) Dauer and the late George (late Irene) Dauer, Marlene (late Leon) Pallas, and Maryann (late James) Carpenter. He was a cherished uncle, leaving behind nieces and nephews who will forever hold him in their hearts.
In honoring Robert's wishes, there will be no prior visitation. A Mass of Christian Burial will take place on Monday at 10:00 AM at Queen of Martyrs RC Church. Family and friends are invited to assemble at the church to celebrate Robert's life and the love he shared with so many. In lieu of flowers, the family kindly requests remembrance of Robert through heartfelt memories.
Robert’s spirit will forever remain a guiding light in the lives of those who knew and loved him. He will be deeply missed but fondly remembered.
