York - Robert E. "Bob" Small, age 79, of York, died peacefully, or as he would tell, "made it to Heaven a ½ hour before the devil knew I was dead", on Wednesday, December 15, 2021. Born in York on October 6, 1942, he was the son of the late Robert Walter and Mary M. (Frey) Small. Bob was the loving husband of the late Barbara A. (Rohrbaugh) Small who preceded him in death in 2018.
Bob was a 1961 graduate of William Penn High School. He was a US Army Veteran of the Vietnam War. He began his working career as a welder for Allis-Chalmers, later Voith Hydro, and retired after more than 40 years of service. He was a member of St. John Lutheran Church.
Bob enjoyed hunting and target shooting. He liked to spend time with his dogs and always enjoyed a good meal. His favorite past time though, was taking a nap or as Bob said, "watching TV".
Bob is survived by his children Stephanie A. Warner with whom he lived, Steven J. Warner, and his wife Jayne of Seven Valleys, Mindi Sue Small of Gettysburg, and Jeffrey Michael Small of Georgia. He is also survived by his grandchildren Steven, Jessica, Stefany, Antwaan, Allyson, Kyle, Cheynne, and Trystan and his great-grandchildren Wesley and Harper.
