Robert Priest Obituary
Robert Bruce Priest, 63, of Kenhorst, died peacefully at his home on Wednesday, March 7, 2018, due to natural causes.
Fondly known as "Bobby," he lived a joyful life. Born in Bryn Mawr, Pa., he was the
beloved son of Dolores (Kosek) Priest and the late John C. Priest.
Raised in Conshohocken, Pa., he was a volunteer
firefighter at Conshohocken #2 Fire Company. He eventually moved to Kenhorst with his parents where he was
gainfully employed with a local beer distributor for over 25 years.
Bobby was a humble man with an infectious smile. An avid sports fan of the Phillies and Eagles, he was thrilled to finally clothe himself in every Eagles apparel he owned to celebrate their Super Bowl win. He also enjoyed attending college basketball games at Alvernia University and was an active member at the Sokol's Slovak Catholic and the 18th Ward Democratic clubs.
Bobby is remembered with love by his mother, Dolores Priest; brother, Thomas Priest, and his wife, Jennie Rodriguez-Priest, Kenhorst.
He was predeceased by his eldest brother, John K. Priest.
Services are private at convenience of the family. Klee Funeral Home & Cremation Services, Shillington, is in charge of arrangements.

You will be greatly missed by so many Bobby! I enjoyed the over 12 years we worked together and over 20 years I was lucky enough to call you my friend. Your smile, laugh and subtle little digs on me will be missed so much. You were the most sincere, kind man and always made everyone feel loved. Rest easy buddy! Love you Bobby!
