Robert H. Sloan

"Jesus said to him, "I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me." (John 14:6)
On November 30, 2023, Robert Hugh Sloan, departed this life and entered into the presence of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. He was born on July 3, 1940, in Titusville, Pennsylvania to the late Hugh Leo and Mabel Doris (nee Osborn) Sloan. He was the youngest of three children.
Bob, as he was called, attended Titusville High School and upon graduation enlisted in the Navy in 1958. He reached the rank of Master Chief Petty Officer and after 20 years of service he received an Honorable Discharge. While in the Navy he became a Computer Programmer and excelled in teaching other servicemen. He then became an Information Technology Specialist and carried this skill along with his programming skills to his civilian life, working as a contractor for the Department of Defense. During this time, he received many awards and certificates for his outstanding job performances; always going above and beyond what was expected.
He married his high school sweetheart, Carol Mae Foley, August 30, 1958. They were blessed with two sons and two daughters. Carol preceded him in death on April 3, 1989.
In April 2007 Bob felt he had found another soul mate when he met Gwendolyn Arlene Shanklin, where they both worked for the Department of Defense. They married on August 28, 2011.
Bob was a beacon in any community where he lived. Everyone knew if they needed help Bob was always available; no matter what was needed he was there. He was always sharing a part of himself. He was lovingly referred to as "Good Neighbor Bob."
