Robert Bradford Droge, born on November 29, 1952, in Hackensack, New Jersey, passed away peacefully on December 31, 2025, in East Stroudsburg, Pennsylvania.
Throughout his life, Robert exemplified kindness and generosity, leaving a lasting impact on all who were fortunate to know him. His warmth and dedication were apparent in both his personal and professional relationships, reflecting a life lived with passion and purpose.
Robert was predeceased by his father, Edmond B. Droge, and his mother, Edith J. Droge (nee Schmalzer). Their love and guidance shaped him into the remarkable individual he became, and their memories will continue to live on in the hearts of those who loved him.
We will remember Robert for his humor and bubbly laughter, which always brightened the day. He will be remembered for the things he loved, such as watching I Love Lucy, preparing wonderful meals for everyone, chatting with friends on the phone or online, and most of all, his vacuums.
His passing leaves us all with cherished memories and lifelong friendships.
