Obituary for Robert G. Frailey
Robert G. Frailey, 91, of Curwensville, went home to be with his Lord and Savior Jesus Christ on Tuesday April 11, 2017 at his home where he resided with his loving wife of 16 years Helen (Riddle) Frailey whom he wed on August 5, 2000.
Born December 8, 1925 in Berwinsdale, he was the son of Crawford C. and Dora (Hazelton) Frailey. He was married first to Violet (Curry) Frailey for 53 years. They lived in Niagara Falls, NY where he worked for Hooker Chemical, now Occidental Petroleum, until his retirement.
Bob is survived by his wife Helen, and 5 step children who shared a close and loving relationship with him. Vicki Sloan and husband Tim of Grove City, Laurie Sopic and husband Doug of Grampian, Dawn Bloom and husband Brett of Mt. Pocono, Doug Marshall and wife Ginger and George Marshall III both of Curwensville. He was “Pap” to thirteen grandchildren and one great grandchild and they will miss him dearly.
In addition, he is survived by four sisters Alvetta Kearns, Mabel Brink, Donna Slingerland and Nancy Holes; a brother Dean Frailey and two brothers-in-law Raymond Posanskey and Delmar Slingerland, along with many nieces and nephews.
He was preceded in death by his parents, his first wife “Vi”, a brother Huber Frailey and four sisters Mira Jean Diem, Dorothy Stiver, Luella Posanskey and Delma Frailey.
Bob was a member of the Cherry Corner Bible Church where he served on the board and helped on several different building projects. He loved to hunt and fish, gardening and yard work including mowing. He was a kind and wonderful man who found joy in the simple pleasures of life. No matter what he was doing he was “having fun”. When advancing years started to slow him down he bought a golf cart, much to the joy of the great grandkids, and never tired of taking them for rides, checking out wildlife and maybe picking some apples along the way. What a blessing it was to have had him in our lives.
Funeral Services for Bob will be held at the Cherry Corner Bible Church 1464 Church Road Curwensville on Friday afternoon April 14, 2017 at 1:00 PM, with the Pastor George W. Solley officiating. Interment will be in the Fairview Baptist Cemetery in Thompsontown.
Friends will be received at the church on Friday from 11:00 AM until time of services at 1:00 PM. The family suggests memorial contributions be made to the Cherry Corner Bible Church c/o 155 Nellie’s Road Grampian, PA 16838.
Online condolences may be made to the family at www.chidboyfuneralhome.com.
The Chester C. Chidboy Funeral Home, Inc. of Curwensville is in charge of the arrangements.
