Bob was a proud member of the United States Marine Corps, and his service reflected the strength, discipline, and commitment that remained with him throughout his life. Initially, Bob thought about entering the U.S. Navy, however, following a conversation with his Uncle Ray, he was quickly inspired to join the Corps, and was forever grateful of his decision.  He carried a sense of duty with dignity and honor, and it was a source of deep pride for him. 

Many affectionately referred to Bob as “Hearn” or “Uncle B.”  His comedic personality was one of the many gifts he shared with others.  Bob enjoyed playing cards and treasured the countless trips to Las Vegas.  During the holidays, Bob shared another special tradition with his family by teaching them how to make limoncello.  Through this simple but memorable custom, he passed along more than a recipe, but memories and laughs that will live on eternally.  Above all else, Bob valued the ability to provide for his family. 

Friends are welcome to a Memorial Visitation on Friday, July 3, 2026, from 10 a.m. to 12 noon at Patrick T. Lanigan Funeral Home & Crematory, Inc., 1111 Monroeville Ave., Turtle Creek / Monroeville Chapel, Turtle Creek, PA 15145, (412) 823-9350, where a Funeral Service will be held at 12 noon, followed by a presentation of Military Honors.

The family would like to recognize Bob’s late Uncle Ray Sieber and late Aunt Peggy Sieber, for the love and support they provided to Bob, they were his true role models.
