Robert Luddy Obituary
Robert "Bob" Luddy, President of the Brandy Station Foundation from 1998-2008, passed away at his home in Greenbelt, Maryland, on January 8, 2023, following a long illness. He is survived by his wife, Paula; sons, Scott and Shawn, and four grandchildren.
Bob retired from NASA after 37 years in 2003. During his terms as President, the Brandy Station Foundation protected, through purchase, five tracts of Civil War battlefield land including the Graffiti House in Brandy Station. Bob also worked with several Virginia and West Virginia groups to create the Northern Virginia Civil War Graffiti Trail.
As Bob wished, his body was donated to science and there will be no service. Donations in Bob's memory may be made to the Brandy Station Foundation, P.O. Box 165, Brandy Station, VA 22714 or to your local hospice.

Bob was also a miniature wargamer, and a long time member of the Potomac Wargamers and the Historical Miniatures Gaming Society. He was passionate about the ancient military era and played in tournaments for ancient and medieval wargames. He was a good and kind man, had a gentle sense of humor, and made many friends easily. He will be missed by all of us in the wargaming community.

Bob was kind man. He spoke to the Greenbelt Golden Age Club about the Civil War and organized a trip to the Graffiti House. His knowledge of that time in history was amazing and so very interesting. He loved sharing his vast knowledge.
Bob will be missed by his many friends in Greenbelt.
