Robin Blaine Raudenbush
(November 11, 1956 – April 5, 2025)
Robin Blaine Raudenbush (named after Phillies great, Robin Roberts), 68, died on April 5, 2025 at UPMC Shadyside in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Son of MaeRuth Raudenbush and the late Samuel Goodman Raudenbush, he was born in Norristown, Pennsylvania in 1956. Robin spent most of his life living in Montgomery and Lancaster County before relocating permanently to his camp in Tioga County and became a member of Trinity Lutheran Church, Lansdale PA.
Robin graduated from North Penn High School in 1974 and earned a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration from Bloomsburg University in 1978. Robin excelled in his over 31-year professional career at Groundwater & Environmental Services, as the Senior Vice President of Oil and Gas and sector lead at GES' Exploration & Production and Terminal, Pipeline and Refinery practices. His remarkable career landed him on the GES advisory council and an active member in many oil and gas industry organizations (MSC, PIOGA, APA).
Robin's impact on GES and the oil and gas industry is nothing short of legendary, and his absence leaves a void that will be impossible to fill. He poured his heart into GES and the oil and gas industry itself, constantly pushing to make both cutting-edge and successful. For him, developing people wasn't just part of the job-it was his legacy. He wanted GES, and the individuals within it, to flourish, not just continue.
Robin's influence was felt far beyond the company's walls. A true master of business development, Robin had an almost uncanny ability to foresee what clients would need before they even knew it themselves. He didn't just react to the market-he anticipated it, positioning GES ahead of the curve with expert skills and cutting-edge technology.
His passion & persistence made clients love working with GES. And while work was never far from his mind, he made sure it was balanced with fun-whether hosting golf outings, sporting clays, or fishing and hunting events. Robin knew how to blend work and play, forging real relationships and lifelong friendships along the way.
Robin was very attentive to detail and follow through was number one. GES direct reports were well aware daily that work started at 05:00 hrs, 365 days a week! Robin kept several 8×11 notepads located in key areas that everyone knew to "never remove or consequences will follow." He was first in line for everything and being better than others is what drove him everyday with always 110% effort!
A man of many passions, Robin was also deeply involved in his community. As Pine Township Supervisor, his tireless work ethic and logistical acumen helped navigate many challenges with grit and dedication he showed in business, including storm and flood recovery efforts. He was an avid hunter, member and co-caretaker of Bonnell Run Hunting and Fishing Club leading numerous committees completing projects generating superior results! He was also a life-time member of the Pennsylvania Keystone Elk Country Alliance, Morris Rod and Gun Club, and Cocalico Sportsman Association. He loved the outdoors and sports from scuba diving the depths of the Caribbean to heli-skiing the tops of the Rockies and Switzerland. He was an avid golfer and always enjoyed a day on the links. His happy place was off-shore fishing in Hatteras where he always had to "Fill the box" with record weight fish with a "Cold Heiny" in hand heading out of the Marina" as the rules of engagement. He enjoyed traveling to Montana and British Columbia with his wingman Rabbit and joining close friends "glassing" for the Big Mossy Muley or Whitetail deer. His big accomplishment was harvesting a 350-pound Montana Bull Elk and Whitey on his 60th birthday! Robo got it done !
Robin was an avid Penn State and Philadelphia sports Fan as a Flyers season ticket holder many years! He always had "Game Day Ready" gear. One of his favorite quotes!! This year he was able to enjoy the Eagles Super Bowl victory. "Fly Eagles Fly" was another quote that could be heard throughout the day!
Above all he was devoted to taking care of his mother, Mae, and will be remembered for his enthusiasm, sense of adventure, charisma, determination and hard work ethic.
He is survived by mother, Mae Raudenbush, Lancaster County; sister, Debra Raudenbush, Lancaster County; brother, Brian Raudenbush (wife Shauna), Rathdrum, Idaho; and nephews, Jan Watson (wife Samar), Philadelphia County; and Andrew Watson, Christchurch, New Zealand.
A private family service will be held on April 15, 2025, Ephrata Manor, Ephrata, Pennsylvania. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Pennsylvania Keystone Elk Country Alliance.
