Robert Wojcuich Memoriam
Robert Eric Wojcuich, 59, of St. Cloud, Fla., passed peacefully on Oct. 3, 2025, at 6:35 a.m., with his children by his side.
Robert, known by many as "Bob," "Bobby," or "Wojo," was born in Sewickley, Pa., to Karen Sacco Manges and Rudolph Wojcuich.
Bob graduated from Moon High School, class of 1984. During high school, he played football and worked at his grandfather's bowling alley, Sacco Lanes. He bowled multiple 300s. He went on to earn his Associate in Specialized Technology Degree in Refrigeration, HVAC and Solar from Triangle Tech.
After graduating, he launched Wojcuich Refrigeration and later worked with Baker Distributing and Manitowoc Ice before expanding into new ventures. He loved fishing and later opened Wojo's Bait and Tackle. His passion for cooking and bringing people together inspired him to open Wojo's Bar and Grill. He also founded Ice Innovations, and opened a U-Haul dealership. Bob worked hard, and he loved it-that drive and determination led him to successfully own and operate four businesses.
Like his father, Bob was an avid fisherman. He won numerous fishing tournaments over the years. He also gave back to the fishing community, serving as Tournament Director in the Xtreme Bass Series and co-chairing the Osceola Pro Bass organization. More than anything, he cherished his time on the water.
Bob had a generous spirit-always willing to lend a hand without expecting anything in return. He was kind, deeply loyal, and known for his sharp wit and humor that often filled a room with laughter. Above all, Bob loved being a father and a grandfather, "Pap" to his grandson. His family was his greatest pride and joy.
He is survived by his children, John Wojcuich of Gainesville, Fla., and Lauren (Kyle) LaFaive and grandson Everett LaFaive of Plymouth, Ind.; his sisters, Tammy (Gary) McCuen of Moon Township, Pa., and Carol (Michael) Seneker of Northville, Mich.; his niece, Samantha (David) Adams; nephews Jacob (Kylie) McCuen and Dalton Wojcuich; along with many beloved cousins, aunts, and uncles.
He was preceded in death by his father, Rudolph Wojcuich (Janice); his mother, Karen Sacco Manges (David); and his brother, Michael Wojcuich.
The family would like to extend heartfelt thanks to all who loved and supported Bob throughout his life.
