Robert designed transformers for Westinghouse Electric Corp. for 37 years, followed by five years with Leheigh Contractors. While at Westinghouse, Robert played for the company baseball team, from which he was chosen to try out for the New York Giants. Robert also played in the company golf league at Tam O’Shanter Golf Course, where he made many lifelong friends.

Most of all, Robert enjoyed time with his family. He and Frances made sure they attended every grandchild’s birth, birthday party, dance recital and graduation celebration, even as it meant traveling hundreds of miles to Indiana and Illinois. The importance of family was his legacy which has been passed on to his four surviving children, Mary Beth Walsh, Stephen (Debbie) Walsh, Matthew (Laurie) Walsh and Philip Walsh.

Robert is also survived by his brother, Edward (Katherine) Walsh; six grandchildren, Billy Jo (Tim) Baker, Brian (Lindsey) Walsh, Sara (Brian) Thomas, Rachel Walsh, Rebecca Walsh and Sarah Walsh; as well as his six great-grandchildren, Aidan Baker, Andrew Baker, Ethan Thomas, Katelyn Thomas, Carter Walsh and Noah Walsh.

Robert was preceded in death by his wife, Frances; parents, Stephen and Anna Walsh; brother, William (Janet) Walsh; and granddaughter, Emma Grace.

Robert was a member of St. Patrick Roman Catholic Church of Hubbard and St. Adalbert’s Church of Farrell. At St. Patricks’s, he was a member of the Knights of Columbus, and a chairman of the Cub Scout committee. At St. Adalbert’s, Robert held the positions of council president and head usher, and spent countless hours with Frances and daughter, Mary Beth, as pierogi workers.

Robert served in the Naval Reserve for eight years and held the position of secretary in the Farrell Sportsman Club. He was also regarded as a sharpshooter for the Sharon Pistol Team.

Robert will be dearly missed by his family, who always looked up to him as a man of integrity, and most of all, love for his family.

There will be calling hours from 9 to 10:30 a.m. Tuesday, May 17, 2022, at Stewart-Kyle Funeral Home.

A Mass of Christian Burial, with the Rev. Michael Swierz officiating, will be held at 11 a.m. Tuesday at St. Patrick Roman Catholic Church in Hubbard.

The family would like to thank the staff at Ohio Living Lake Vista for the excellent care provided to their father.

In lieu of flowers, donations can be made in Robert’s memory to St. Patrick Roman Catholic Church, 225 N. Main St., Hubbard, OH 44425.
