Robert Hoover Jr.

Roaring Spring

This passage is to celebrate the life and mourn the loss of Robert Hoover Jr. Bob was born Feb. 15, 1974, and left us Dec. 14, 2021.

Bob resided in Roaring Spring with companion Kassandra Perry and his son Weston. He was a graduate of Northern Bedford High School, a member of Hopewell Grace Brethren Church, and a graduate of ICM Business School. He was also the owner and president of Ripcord Roofing Inc.

Bobby was the son of Ellen Jane and Brian Beck of East Freedom and the late Robert Hoover Sr. He is survived by his son Weston who he loved dearly; sisters: Tammy Crooks of Hopewell and Lori Crooks (wife of Bobby Crooks) of Six Mile Run; Step sister: Kristen Beck of Altoona; niece and nephews: ( that adored Bobby and thought he was the coolest) Shelby Gochnour, Adam Crooks, Dylan and Alex Mock, Damien, Nehemiah, and Robbie Crooks, and Ayden and Keaton Beck; grandfather Herbert Christopher and many loving aunts, uncles and cousins.

When not working hard Bobby enjoyed playing with his son. He also enjoyed his cats, hunting, riding his motorcycle and trying to be funny, which he always thought he was. Bob enjoyed spending time with family. We spent every holiday together. He had his own sense of humor that not many outside our family would understand. But we got him.

We would also like to recognize Bobby’s best friend, Jamie Kichman. Jamie was always a true friend to Bob and for that we are all thankful.

In closing we would like to say that Bob was part of us. He was our family. Nothing will be the same without him. He will be loved and missed forever.
