Robert “Bob” Allen Van Wie, Sr. passed away on October 28, 2021. He was born in Erie, PA on October 1, 1949, and was the son of Boyd and Annabelle Baine Van Tassell. Bob spent most of his career driving truck all over the U.S. He was passionate about music, and he passed that love down to each of his children. His favorites were country, bluegrass, and oldies. He also loved his westerns and old sitcoms. Bob bowled on a league with his family for many years and spent summers camping with them as well. He also enjoyed hunting and fishing. Although he was generally a quiet man, he was a natural storyteller and loved sharing his memories with family and friends.
