Thomas Frank Robertson Sr., 78, of Kittanning, Pennsylvania, lovingly known as “Pap,” passed away surrounded by his family.

He is survived by his beloved wife, Barbara; his children, Dawn (Bruce), Tommy Jr. (Bonnie), and Frank (Nancy); his grandchildren, Tai (Fred), Travis (Tashina), Jeremy (Sam), William, and Emma (Curt); his great-grandchildren, Eleania, Elijah, Paityn, Jon, Everly, and Jemma; and numerous nieces and nephews.

He was preceded in death by his parents, Lois Fisher Robertson and Richard C. Robertson; his brother, John Robertson; and several beloved brothers- and sisters-in-law.

Thomas was a Vietnam veteran, retired respiratory therapist, and was known for his playful personality, his love of taking scenic “short cuts,” and his ability to fix just about anything—often with a little Gorilla Glue. He enjoyed life’s simple pleasures, including riding his mower and spending time with those he loved, always with a Diet Coke nearby.

He will be remembered for his deep love of family, and for the laughter and memories he created throughout his life.

A private memorial will be held.

In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the American Cancer Society.
