Robert Kershaw Obituary
Publish in a newspaper
Born in Abington, he was the son of Raymond Kershaw Sr. and Joan (Blair) Kershaw.
Robert was incredibly handy with home improvement projects around the house and even built his hunting cabin. He loved deer hunting, the Philadelphia Eagles, cooking, and having great conversations. Family was always Robert's top priority. He was known for his heavily embellished stories. Robert had a wonderful sense of humor and he enjoyed making people laugh. Bob, as he was known at work had an over 40 year career at PECO, starting as a meter reader in 1983 and moving over to be a gas mechanic and welder. He worked his way up through the ranks to foreman and then supervisor in gas and moved to emergency response in 2007 as an energy technician supervisor. He excelled at seeing the potential in everyone and loved helping them reach that potential. He was a trusted mentor, coach, and friend. He impacted the lives of so many at PECO.
Surviving along with his wife Andrea, are his children Robert Blair Kershaw Jr., husband of Kelly; Alicia Kershaw, fiancée of Richard; Brent Miller, fiancée of Christie; and Jana LePage, wife of Chris; sister Joann Brown, wife of Curtis; brother Raymond Kershaw Jr., husband of Lynn; sister Janine Hall, wife of Scott; grandchildren Jordan Kershaw, Samuel Kershaw, and Kira Kershaw; aunt Ellen Blair; uncle Blanchard Romaine; cousins Patty Sabol, wife of Jack; Lynne Blair; and many nieces and nephews he loved so much.
A Celebration of Life will be held on Saturday, March 16, 2024, at 1:00PM at St. Paul's Lutheran Church (1809 Hoffmansville Rd, Sassamansville, PA 19472). Burial will be held privately by the family at a later date. A visitation will also be held on Saturday, March 16, 2024, from 11:00AM-1:00PM at the church. Robert was not too keen on formal attire. The family asks those coming to pay respects to please dress in Eagles attire, camo, or something that represented Robert's interests to honor him and celebrate his life.
In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made in support of ependymoma research at Jefferson in Robert's name. https://giving.jefferson.edu/g...

My Dad (Howard DiValentino) and brother (Nick) enjoyed many years of "Hunting Camp" With Bobby and the rest of the crew, a yearly tradition they always looked forward to.. our thoughts and prayers are with Andrea and the rest of the family and friends during this difficult time.. I pray that you all can find peace in the chaos and God would soften your hearts to one another so you may grieve as long as you need! Take comfort in knowing Bobby had a generational impact not only in his own family but ours as well! The stories from hunting camp will always live on in our family!

My husband and I recently got to know Robert through Andrea.We would meet at Union Jack´s for dinner and game night. We would tell stories and laugh, and it was such a fun, relaxing time. We taught Robert how to play poker for sugar packets! We are shocked and sad that he is no longer with us. He will be greatly missed.

My sincere sympathy is offered to Andria and Robert's family. I have fond memories at my Bayberry home of all the help he offered when my home needed emergency attention. I was glad to accommodate his HUGE truck in my driveway whenever he needed the extra space! Andrea, I have been praying for you to be comforted at this difficult time. Lovingly yours, Judy McIlvaine
