Robert Speidel, age 68, of Lake Ariel, PA, formerly of Wayne, passed suddenly on Friday, May 19, 2017.
He was born in Union City and raised in Wayne. He was a 1966 graduate of Wayne Valley High School.
Just out of high school he worked at the S.B. Engineering Company in Clifton and soon found a lifelong career in the construction business. He founded the B.B.S Construction Company in Wayne that specialized in modular homes and excavating. He was very proud when his son Stephen joined the company in 1990. Robert ran B.B.S. for over thirty-five years before retiring in 2007.
Robert was a fun loving, generous, thoughtful person who loved sports. He was a devoted father and grandfather having attended his children and grandchildren’s games as often as he could. He will be remembered for his love of the outdoors where he could be found fishing, hunting, boating, snowmobiling, or riding quads. He was always a dog lover and had a special spot in his heart for his Belgium German Shepherd “Jake.”
When Robert was attending Wayne Valley High School he became acquainted with a pretty girl named Patricia Scelba who was attending DePaul High School in Wayne. Their first date was at Greenwood Lake. On January 14, 1967 they were married at Holy Cross RC Church in Wayne and after a reception at the San Carlo in Lyndhurst they honeymooned at West Point. Robert and Patricia have enjoyed fifty years of a devoted and loving marriage.
He was the loving father of the late Robert “Bobby” Speidel (December 2012) and his surviving wife Kelly of VA, and Stephen Speidel and his wife Deanne of Vernon; he was the cherished grandfather of R.J. Speidel, Garrison Speidel, Kainen Phillips, Stephen Speidel, and Sean Speidel; he was the much loved brother of Carol Schaefer of PA and his late sister Joanne Sanclementi.
