Robert George Piotrowski

Robert George Piotrowski, 71, passed away on April 9, 2020. Born in Homestead, PA, Bob was son of Stanley and Ann Guidish Piotrowski.

Left to remember and retell all the “dad stories” are his wife Judy, of 47 years, daughter Jill (Matt) Reiswig of Eagan, Minnesota, daughter Amy of Vernal, Utah, daughter Beth (Matt) Abel of The Woodlands, Texas, and daughter Ann of Saluda, NC. “Grandpap stories” will be cherished by grandsons Peter and Leo Reiswig, grandsons Warner and Jude Abel and granddaughter Helen Reiswig. Also left with stories of growing-up together are brother Stan (Liz) Piotrowski and sister JoAnn (Matt) Neice.

Bob grew up in Falls Church, Virginia, got his undergraduate degree from University of Dayton, Ohio, and his Master’s Degree from Duke University. He served in the US Army, stationed in Korea during the Vietnam War. During his career as a petroleum geologist, Bob worked for Amoco and Marathon Oil Companies as well as the Pennsylvania Geologic Survey as its Oil and Gas Chief.

Bob enjoyed the nomadic life of being a geologist, living in over a dozen cities, in the US and abroad, exploring new places and meeting new people. But he was happiest to choose for himself, to live in Asheville, when he retired. He loved spending time with his family and doing a little “porch-sitting” so he could visit with neighbors as they walked by.

A memorial service will be held at a later date. Memorial donations may be made to University of Dayton, home of his beloved Flyers.
