Robert (Bob) M. Shoback
June 29, 2013

Mr. Robert (Bob) Michael Shoback, 68, of Duryea passed into the loving arms of our lord on June 29, 2013 at Hospice Community Care, Dunmore. He passed away surrounded by his loving family, following a short courageous battle with cancer.

He was born in Pittston on February 28, 1945, the son of the late John and Helen Kachinski Shoback. He was a graduate of Pittston High School. He served in the United States Army. Prior to his retirement, he was employed by the former Topps Chewing Gum Co., Duryea.

He was a member of Nativity of Our Lord Parish, Duryea.

He was a devoted father, always there for his daughters. Nothing made him happier than to relax at home with his family, laying back in his recliner and watching his Giants and Notre Dame. He was an avid fan of both. He also enjoyed the slot machines at Mohegan Sun at Pocono Downs, especially if he won. He will be greatly missed by his family and friends. No wife has ever been blessed with a more loving husband. God sent her the best.

He was proceeded in death by his infant brother, John Joseph.

He is survived by his loving wife of almost 47 years, Violet Sikes Shoback, whom he married on October 8, 1966 in Augusta, Georgia.
Loving daughter, Michelle DePrimo and her husband, Frank, of Dupont
Loving daughter, Kristen Krulack and her husband, Paul, of Exeter
Four wonderful grandchildren whom he loved dearly, Joshua, Jessica, and Christopher DePrimo and Lily Krulack

Brother, Edward Shoback of Plains
Brother, Thomas Shoback of Plains
Brother, Richard Shoback and his wife, Esther, of Duryea
Sister, Mary Ann Shoback of Dallas

He is also sadly missed by his loyal golden retriever, Baxter, his constant companion.

The family would like to thank Hospice Community Care and the wonderful angels working there. Each of them took care of Bob as if he was their own family.
