Robert Angstadt Obituary
Robert E. Angstadt Sr., 78, of Fleetwood passed away on Sunday July 17, 2011, comfortably in his home surrounded by his loved ones.
He married the love of his life, Jean (Krick) Angstadt, on Nov. 11, 1953. They spent 57 years together. He was born in Fleetwood, the son of the late Warren F. and Mary (Stauffer) Angstadt. He also has a sister, Doris J. (Angstadt), wife of Earl Hess, Fleetwood, PA.
He graduated from Fleetwood High School in 1950. He was a member of the 101st Airborne Division, serving during the Korean War. Robert worked as a welder for Dana Corp for 38 years. He loved gardening and animals. He was a col-lector of all sorts of things, and a huge Phillies and auto racing fan. He was a lifetime resident of Fleetwood, PA. His proudest community moment was the unbelievable support his family received in the wake of the Christmas Day fire in 1985, which destroyed his family's home. The outpouring of support was something he never forgot.
In addition to his wife and sister, Robert is survived by his children: Susan, wife of Dana Nagel of Boyertown, PA, Christine Groff of Robesonia, PA, Jane, wife of William May of Sinnamahon-ing, PA, Cynthia, wife of John Sadowski of Fleetwood, PA, Robert Angstadt Jr., husband of Pamela of Kutztown, PA, David Angstadt, husband of Ann of Fleetwood, PA, Richard Angstadt of Fleetwood, PA, and Tracy Angstadt of Fleetwood, PA. He was preceded in death by a son Thomas M. "Bud" Angstadt.

He was preceded in death by a grandson, Darren Nagel.

Dear Daddy,
I will look for you in the front window at home as I know you will be watching over me. I will remember your quiet dignity and strong presence. I will always strive to do our my best even though I will not be able to see your approving smile. You will be with me whenever I am traveling and I will be mindful and careful and safe. I will feel you pick me up in your strong arms when I fall or feel vulnerable. I will straighten my pictures and weed my garden and pick up the lint from my carpet. I will protect and cherish the love of your life as you always have. I know that you will be there when I need strength and when I feel lost. I will think of you whenever I eat hamburgers and mashed potatoes. I will feel you holding my hand when I am facing something scary. I will remember the smell of Old Spice and Captain Black and feel your prickly cheek when I kissed you Good Night. You will be there in the gentle breeze that plays my wind chimes. I will always strive to love my family as you have loved yours and I will be inspired by the love always present between you and Mom.
I can not completely grasp the depth of this loss and want to hold on to my memories of you as long as I can. I really do hope that I have made you proud in some way and know that I was always proud of you. I will always love and miss you. Cindy

Christine and family,
Sorry for your loss but your dad's spirit still lives in each of you. Though I haven't seen you in years, I remember times at Dorney Park picnics that we went to because our dads worked at Parish Dana. It is hot days like this that our dads would say "you don't know what hot is til you work at Dana". My deepest sympathy to you and remember the good times.

Big hug to all.

Dad truly lived during the years after he retired and he gave and received the pure love that can only be shared with grandchildren, free from worry and responsibility and filled with kisses and hugs.

I'm so sorry for your loss. I have many fond memories of your family from the years I lived in Fleetwood. It was common to see Mr. Angstadt outside working on a car or pickup truck, and he always had a smile or a wave for passersby. I know he will be greatly missed and lovingly remembered by your family and many others.
