FAMILY TRIBUTE
Robert was born in Mt. Pleasant, MI. At the age of 5, he moved to the Detroit area with his parents, Pedro and Maria and sister, Jeannie. Bobbie and his family ended up moving to Wyandotte, MI around his seventh birthday. He met his future wife,Erma, at the age of 8 and married her in 1956. He graduated from Wyandotte Roosevelt High School in 1955. Bob worked at McLouth Steel and later, Mich-Con Gas Co. (DTE), where he retired in 1998.
Abe enjoyed many hobbies. He loved to play cards. He loved watching and playing hockey with his sons and coaching the boys of Wyandotte. He enjoyed boating and also enjoyed vacationing with his family and friends during the summer at Camp Dearborn, MI and Port Huron, MI. After the kids all moved out Abe and Erma began to Travel. After his retirement, Abe and Erma spent a lot of time with his tribe, The Saginaw Chippewa Indian Tribe of MI with whom they traveled all over the country, and gambling and having fun at the Soaring Eagle Casino and Resort with his family. During this time, Abe and Erma spent their winters in Florida and their summers in Wyandotte with his family. Abe loved dogs and had one most of his life.
He was a devoted, no nonsense Husband and Father who loved his wife and children; spoiling and always looking out for his grandchildren also brought him great joy. Abe and Erma had many friends throughout life whom they laughed and enjoyed “partying” with. He also enjoyed “partying” with his daughter.
He is survived by his wife of 62 years, Erma as well as his son, Michael and his wife, Sandra. He also leaves behind his grandchildren Joseph, Michael, Jonathan, Derek, Nicole, Christopher, Joshua, Stacey and Sarah; and his great-grandchildren Marcus, Marissa, Emma, Rosalie, Joseph, Evangeline, Kaitlyn, Sebastian, Abigail, and Evelynn.
He now joins his deceased son, Robert (Robbie) and his deceased daughter, Karen in heaven. Whether you knew him as Robert, Bobbie, Bob, Abe, Uncle Bob, Grandpa, Grandpa Abe, Old Grampy or Dad, he lives on in all of us exactly how you remember him. He will surely be missed. No one will ever forget that sweet smile and contagious laugh he shared each and every time he graced us with his presence. He lives on within each and every one of us in the memories we shared with him.
