    Robert "Bob" A. Smyser, Jr.

    November 28, 1961 - April 30, 2018

    Robert "Bob" A. Smyser, age 56, of Laurel, Delaware, passed away after a long battle with lung cancer at the Delmar Nursing & Rehabilitation Center in Delmar, DE. Bob was born in Carlisle, PA. on November 28, 1961 to the late Robert A. Smyser, Sr. and Doris Jean Keck Smyser. He lived in Pennsylvania his entire life, but moved to be near the "shore" as he would say, in order to fulfill his lifetime dream after he beat his first bout with esophageal cancer. He worked for Roadway Trucking (now YRC) in Carlisle, PA. for twenty years. While working for Roadway, he was a yard jockey, dock worker, driver, and driver trainer. He was a member of the American Legion Post #19 in Laurel, VFW in Delmar, MD., and the Moose Lodge in Seaford. He enjoyed spending time with his family and friends, riding his Yamaha Raider motorcycle, muscle cars, bicycling, walking, and hiking. He is survived by his two sons; Robb Smyser and his girlfriend Chrissy of Carlisle, PA., and Zachary Smyser and his wife Courtney of Mount Holly Springs, PA.; his companion Lori Ann Gilmore of Seaford, DE.; his grandchildren, Atticus James, Arianna Rae, Cailin, Zayde, and Zeppelin all of whom he loved to spend time with. Bob is also survived by his siblings; Phillip Smyser, Melanie Diarman both of Carlisle, PA., Dwayne Smyser of Martinsburg, WV., and Doris Porter of Shippensburg, PA. In honoring Bob's request, there be no services. Memorial contributions may be made in Bob's memory to the American Cancer Society.
