Robert Eckel WG68, 84, died on June 29, 2022, ending a grueling four-plus-year decline from dementia. Born in 1937, Bob lived most of his adult life in Southampton, PA. Son of a carpenter and millwright, he acquired vast knowledge of how to build and fix things. One of his proudest accomplishments was the mortgage-free home that he built for his family. Bob also spent two years in the Naval Reserve and held both blue- and white-collar jobs. The New Jersey Department of the Treasury was his longest employer. Predeceased by his parents, brother Bill, sister-in-law Carol, and son David, Bob is survived by daughter Suzanne; son Mike; nieces Joy, Helen, and Charlotte; and many others.
