Robert W. Wilkins

Robert Warren Wilkins (Bob), a lifelong Milford Resident, passed away at peace wrapped in his families arms on October 18.

 

Bob was a champion race car driver. Known for his exceptional skill of being a dirt track wheelman in go-carts, late models, modifieds & sprint cars. He also was a passionate fisherman and crab eater. Bob passed his knowledge on to his children, grandchildren and anyone willing to learn. He was a proud member for many years of the East Coast Hot Rod Garage staff and was an expert mechanic and fabricator. However, Bob’s greatest accomplishment was being a father & grandfather, a role he cherished.

 

Bob was the loving son of the late John R. Wilkins, Jr. and Elizabeth Warren Wilkins. He will always be remembered by his wife of 47 years, Kim, his son Beau (grandchildren Brynlee & Lane); daughter Janelle (grandchildren Grayson, Griffin & Graham); brother Jay Wilkins (Kathleen Koechlin), in-laws Scott Hunsinger (Nina Muccillo), Randy Hunsinger (Yanfei), Hollis Brazier (Marc Schultz), and Sara Hunsinger. He loved his numerous nieces and nephews dearly. Bob’s many friendships were widespread and everyone has a story about him. He was known for his fun-loving kind spirit and bright smile.

 

There are not enough words to thank those for their support of Bob and his family throughout his 15-month battle with Glioblastoma.

 

A Celebration of Life Service will be held on Saturday, October 26, 2024 at 1:00pm at Rogers- Hovatter Funeral home, 301 Lakeview Ave. Milford, DE, with visitation starting at 11am.
