Bob ZelechoskiBethlehem

Bob Zelechoski, 95, passed away peacefully at Country Meadows on September 26, 2019. He was the husband of Erma (Diulio) Zelechoski and celebrated 70 years of marriage in June of this year. Born in Johnsonburg, PA, he was one of four sons and two daughters of Joseph and Ve-ronica (Dworsky) Zelechoski.

Bob served his country in the Army in Europe during WWII. He graduated from Clarion College in 1948 and taught math and physics in high school. He earned a Doc-tor of Education degree from Penn State University in 1960 before becoming Superinten-dent of Schools first at For-est City Regional and then at North Schuylkill School Dis-trict. Later in life, he was a financial advisor with Ameri-prise Financial.

Bob played 3 sports in col-lege; football, basketball, and baseball. He coached football at the high school level and officiated high school basket-ball. He had a tryout with the minor league team of the Phil-lies, and turned down an offer to travel and pitch for the team because a school teacher those days got paid more money, and he was going to marry Erma, the love of his life and start a family.

Bob was introduced to golf in his mid 30’s and played weekly with friends and fam-ily the rest of his life. He loved the game and had a “new swing” every week.

Bob’s one constant that never changed was his love of Erma, his family and his love and faith in God. His fam-ily was blessed by the way he lived and shared his faith. He has served as a Eucharist Min-ister and had been active in the Knights of Columbus dur-ing his life. He will be dearly missed.

Survivors: wife Erma, sis-ter Nancy Shuey; daughters, Roberta Young and Barbara Smith and her husband, Atty.Paul; sons, Joseph Zelechoski and his wife, Barbara, John Zelechoski and his wife, Deb-ra, and Dr. David Zelechoski and his wife, Christy. Grand-children: Diana, Sherri, Kevin, Steven, Marissa, Lauren, Dan-ny, Shannon, Michael, Jordan, and Forrest. Great grandchil-dren: Bobby, Christine, Chris-tian, Matthew, Christopher, Jack Joseph, Addison, Brody, Luke, Jack Brighton, Debra and Dean.

A Mass of Christian Burial was held on Monday, Sept. 30, 2019 at Our Lady of Perpetual Help Catholic Church, 3219 Santee Rd. Bethlehem, PA 18020.

Cemetery services were held on Tuesday, October 1, 2019 at 11:30 am at Holy Rosa-ry Cemetery in Johnsonburg, PA.
