Robert Edward Pierce

Robert Edward Pierce 87 of Middleport, NY went to be with our Lord October 12, 2023. After a long hard fight.

A humble man with the patience of a saint & a strong will to live, he will be sadly missed. Bob was born January 18, 1936 in Warren, PA to Gilbert Pierce & Jennie Mortimer Pierce. His dad passed away when Bob was just 2 years old. His mom, Jennie, remarried Leonard “Andy” Lauffenburger. So, Bob & his sister Joyce were then blessed with a new baby brother, Fred. Then another baby brother Jimmy. Growing up Bob was a bit mischievous. His first job was a pin boy at his Uncle Harry’s bowling alley in Warren. Growing older he always had a joke or silly one liner to share. Shortly after high school Bob joined the USMC. Upon returning home from duty, Bob was a tree trimming expert “stump jumper” then he got into surveying with his brother-in-law Larry. Bob liked this line of work until he retired. 55 of those years a member of the International Union of Operating Engineers Local 545 D and proud of it. Bob had his own lifestyle. He loved his motorcycle & riding it, was an avid football fan, working with leather for gifts, & especially the time he got to spend with family & chocolate! Oh, by the way! In December 1961, Bob met & married Nancy Jane Simpson (Snyders) an up-North girl. They rambled around Pennsylvania for a couple of years. Then moved to Middleport, NY. They sold their pretty mobile home, bought a big old house & raised 3 beautiful kids! Rest in peace my Bob.
