Obituary for Robert Andrew "Bobby" Amon Jr.
Robert "Bobby" Andrew Amon, Jr., 75, of Canadohta Lake, passed away, Sunday, November 13, 2022 at his residence surrounded by his loving family. He was born on June 12, 1947 in Erie, a son of Robert A. Amon, Sr. and Alice M. Zimmerman Amon. He married Judy L. Burge on June 18, 1966.
He was a 1965 graduate of Fort LeBouef High School and following high school he went to work for Kaiser Aluminum. He later was a self-employed contractor until he went to work for the City of Titusville in 1988 as a building inspector at first, later for the street department, and lastly with Waste Water Treatment until he was forced into retirement in 1997 due to health concerns.
Bobby was a past member of Lincolnville Baptist Church where he served on the board of trustees for twelve years. He currently attended New Beginnings Church of God and served on the Bloomfield Township Sewage Authority Board for many years.
He was a big supporter of The Center of Organ Recovery and Education. Bobby was a recipient of a small bowel transplant and a kidney transplant which his daughter, Wendy was his kidney donor. He battled several health obstacles over the years but he always kept a positive attitude.
Bobby enjoyed coaching little league, volunteering at the Union City Country Club Youth Golf Camp, spending time with his family at their camp known as "Camp Peach" in Pleasantville, mowing his grass as well as the neighbors, but what brought him the most joy was attending his grandchildren's and great grandchildren's sporting events.
