Robert “Bob” Allen Baleskie, went to be with his Lord and Savior on February 24, 2023. Born in Morgantown, West Virginia, March 25, 1953. Bob lived in Front Royal, Virginia and called it home for over 54 Years.
Bob loved God, loved his wife Deborah and loved his daughters and sons in law, BobbieJo (Kenneth) Henderson, Stacey (David) Daughtery, and his grandson Kenneth Henderson II.
He was preceded in death by his wife and mother of his children Linda Figgins Baleskie, his wife Pam Baleskie, his father Norman Baleskie, his father Author Shearer and his mother Laura Corder Shearer.
Bob enjoyed bluegrass music, old cars, fishing, the Steelers and fellowship at the Front Royal Church of Christ. He was the VP of the FOP Auxiliary, Lodge 33, Front Royal Warren County.
Bob worked as a machinist at Fabritek in Winchester, Virginia, until he retired in 2019. He was happiest repairing small engines and fabricating metal parts that were thought impossible to produce. His expertise saved many old cars and machines. His talent will be greatly missed.
Bob’s family invites everyone to Maddox Funeral Home in Front Royal, Virginia to celebrate his life. Visitation will be on Thursday, March 2, 2023 from 6-8pm. The funeral will be on Friday, March 3, 2023 at 11am. Graveside burial at Prospect Hill Cemetery, Front Royal, Virginia.
Bob was a light in this world. We will miss seeing him when we visit Front Royal. He has truly earned his place with Jesus and our hope is that we will see him there in eternity.
He was my buddy and revered coworker at Avtex. Love and condolences to his family. The world was a better and happier place because of Bob
Stacy and family,
So deeply sorry for your loss. Bob was such a kind hearted person. I remember having several great conversations with Bob at church and F.O.P. Meetings.
Deborah and Family,
With Prayers and sympathy… in your time of sorrow, may you find peace in the Lord’s presence as He gives you strength for today and hope for tomorrow.
“Wait on the Lord… and He shall strengthen thine heart.” Psalm 27:14
Deborah and family, I just heard of Bob’s passing. I am so sorry to hear this. Lots of memories from working with him at Fabritek. Such a great guy. Prayers for all. Nancy Meade
