Robert "Bob/Bobby" Frank Espy Jr.

Robert "Bob/Bobby" Frank Espy Jr., husband, father, grandfather, brother and friend, died peacefully away at his home, surrounded by his loved ones on Friday, Oct. 6, 2023. Robert was born in Ben Avon, PA, raised by his loving parents, the late Jane and Robert Espy, Senior. He was a dedicated member of his community; volunteering for the fire department, participating within the local church, and serving as a trusted officer of the police force. In Robert's free time, he loved spending it with family and friends. When he wasn't at home doing the projects he loved around the house or hosting and preparing family dinners, he could be found somewhere near the water. Bob loved fishing and boating with his family in Florida and friends on the river. Bob loved going to their family cabin in the mountains to fish and hunt (and to socialize by the fire). He was an avid jokester and storyteller who could befriend anyone. When he walked in a room, he had a way of putting a smile on everyone's face, even those who didn't know him. Bob will be missed for the way he genuinely cared for others and would do anything for someone in need. His spirit will live on in the many lives he touched throughout his time on this earth. Bob is survived by his wife Amy; his two daughters Randi (Robby) and Kyri; his sister, Martha (Dave); three stepsons, William (Brandi), Jason (Brit), and Jonathan (Stephanie); and his four grandchildren, Jacob, Mason, Paisley & Jensen. Bob will be missed by so many family members, and friends. A memorial service for Robert will be held 11 a.m., Friday, Oct. 20, 2023, at the Community Presbyterian Church of Ben Avon (7501 Church Ave., Ben Avon.) Donations in Bob's memory are suggested to The Glioblastoma Foundation at atglioblastomafoundation.org/ get-involved/donate Interment service will be private. Arrangements by Devlin Funeral Home, Inc.
