Obituary

Robert (Bob) Cummings of Willingboro, NJ, passed away on January 19th at the age of 80 years. He was born on January 3, 1941, to Esther and William Cummings in Yeadon, PA. Bob was one of four children William (deceased), Jack, and Carol Ann.  He is survived by his loving wife of over 55 years Carol, son Bryant and his wife Cathy Cummings, daughter Amy and her husband Bob LePage, and his five loving grandchildren Emma, Grace, Allison, Abriel, and Alexander. Bob also has numerous nieces, nephews, and cousins who mourn his loss.

Bob graduated from Lower Merion High School, and later earned his associate's degree from Pierce Business College. He served in the US Coast Guard reserves. He began his professional life as a buyer of mens and boys clothing for Lit Brothers. Bob retired from USA TODAY after a long career with Gannet.  Bob was a fun, supportive, and loving husband, father, and grandfather.  He always had a passion for world travel, gadgets, and new technology.  For years he and his family owned a sailboat and motorboat, enjoying summers at the lake. In his retired years, his interest and love for his grandchildren led to him discovering different social media apps and creating videos. He enjoyed watching the Eagles and Philadelphia teams. Bob greatly enjoyed watching his grandchildren play their sports of volleyball, basketball, baseball, field hockey, and softball. Later during retirement, Bob also worked part-time as a bus aide, where he enjoyed talking and interacting with students.

"G" as he was affectionally called will be missed by all that knew him.

Due to Covid restrictions, a private service will be held by the family.
