Robert Lieber, born May 6th, 1926 in Philadelphia, died January 6th, 2008. He served in the Army in WWII, Fighting from France to
Belgium to Luxembourg to Germany. After the war, he earned a degree in Engineering from the University of Miami, and later a Masters Degree in Systems Engineering from Drexel University. He had a long and successful career at RCA, where he earned three Technical Excellence awards for his ground breaking role in developing a satellite tracking and fire-control radars at their Moorestown plant. Bob also received a patent for the early design of circuit boards, which helped revolutionize the manufacture of electrical equipment, contributed to a radar textbook, and at the pinnacle of his career, was awarded the General Sarnoff gold medal for excellence of achievement for all of RCA.
Above all, Bob was the most caring, devoted, and loving husband, father, friend, and brother-in-law of Marc and Carolyn Shuman. He served as a wonderful role model for his children, Lee, Charles, and Ellen and his beloved grandchildren, Alex and Sara. To him, there was no such thing as a stupid question. He always had a patient and clear response to every query.
He was noted for his sharp, dry, self deprecating wit and readiness to give credit to
others. When he became ill, those who had worked with him (he never said for him) called and visited to tell him that he was the best "boss" they ever had, and that they loved him.
Throughout the fifty-four years of marriage to Matsy (Marlene), he gave 100% of his love and devotion. Their marriage was one "made in heaven." It was love at first sight from their initial blind date. Bob's other love, besides his family and a succession of dogs and cats, was designing, building, and flying model airplanes. He started as a young teenager and was a national champion at 13. He and his sons continued this hobby, traveling across the country and to Europe to compete.
Bob retired early in order to spend more time with his family and his model planes. He, Matsy, and Ellen traveled to six continents and were planning a trip to the 7th when he became ill.
Those wishing to honor his memory are requested to help someone in need. In keeping with Bob's giving nature, he had donated his body to science.
