Robert Suchocki Obituary
Robert E. Suchocki Sr., 63, of the Hudson section of Plains Township, passed away unexpectedly Wednesday evening, October 5, 2011, in the Geisinger Wyoming Valley Medical Center after being stricken ill at home. Born March 29, 1948, in Wilkes-Barre, Bob was a son of the late Edward J. and Rose Marie Montague Suchocki. He attended Wilkes-Barre area schools and was employed as a truck mechanic until his retirement. Bob was an outdoorsman and motorcycle enthusiast. He enjoyed walking in the woods and driving the country and mountain roads on his motorcycle. He was an avid hunter, fisherman and archer. He was a problem solver whenever family or friends needed a helping hand. He would never say no because his mechanical expertise was second to none, and he would always say "I could fix that." He was a member of Ss. Peter & Paul Church, Plains Township. He and his wife, the former Marie Konycki, were looking forward to celebrating their 43rd wedding anniversary on October 19, 2011. Surviving, in addition to his beloved wife, are daughters, Kimberly Wills and her husband, Larry, Wilkes-Barre Township, and Sandra Turinski, Noxen; sons, Robert Jr., and his wife, Wendy, Bear Creek Township, and David and his wife, Candace, Gouldsboro; brother, Ronald and his wife, Patricia, West Wyoming; 10 grandchildren; and one great-grandson. Bob's funeral will be conducted at 9 a.m. Monday from the Mark V. Yanaitis Funeral Home, 55 Stark St., Plains Township, with a Mass of Christian Burial at 9:30 a.m. in Ss. Peter & Paul Church, Plains Township. Cremation will follow in Maple Hill Crematory, Hanover Township. Friends may call from 3 to 6 p.m. Sunday at the funeral home.

So sorry for your loss. I knew Bobby from "way back" living in Miners Mills, his parents ...they spent a lot of time hunting at my aunt's farm in Laceyville.

So sorry to hear of Bob's passing. I practically grew up in the house next door with my grandparents (the Wolmans). I too remember the many "fence talks" he had with Ted. I'm sure there is a fence up there where the ally is now reunited and catching up. Peace and love to you all.

To the Suchocki Family,
We were shocked to see that Mr. Suchocki had passed away, he was always there for me especially when I had a car problem.. One time he actually came to where I worked to help me, he was a great guy and I am very sad to know that he is no longer here. He touched many lives... We are very sorry for your loss and you all will be in our prayers at this time.
