Richard and Connie Lovelace and family
June 7, 2025
This is a sad time for me and our family. Our relationship goes back to the mid 1980's and Rob was a senior at FHS. I was a volunteer mentor teacher from Junior Achievement, and I drew Franklin regional where I also lived. One of my most rewarding experiences was meeting the young Rob and serving as a friend and mentor to him. We both loved Basketball and Pitt. Rob was outgoing and friendly and a tone setter for his classmates. He was always smiling and quick with a joke. I do not remember anyone who didn't like him. Ironically just as I had befriended Rob, my son Aaron became a FR basketball players, and they became lifelong friends. I think they made a pledge to win Pa. State, and it was only injury that roadblocked them in the championship game. Of course, thru those long years of interaction, I got to know his parents and both families became friends. Rob was special to us all and his smile will be sorely missed. It was neat how the teacher's student became the teacher and role model for the son of first teacher. Rest in Peace buddy, and peace be with your family. Now, you will see all the Pitt games no matter where. Beat Penn State!
