Robert Lee Swadley

Robert (Bob) Lee Swadley passed away, with his family by his side, on April 29, 2024 in Glendale, Arizona at the age of 81. He was born on September 17, 1942 in Kansas City, Missouri to the late David and Virginia Pfefer. His late stepfather, Quinten David Swadley, was instrumental in Bob’s rearing.

Bob married Edith Helen Johnson, his teenage sweetheart, on June 15, 1961. They shared over 62 wonderful years of marriage prior to her passing on October 6, 2023. Bob and Helen held a real estate license for over 50 years and were owners of many successful businesses. He always had a solution to any problem. Bob was passionate about real estate, both residential and commercial but his true passion was re-building and painting classic cars his entire life. If you knew Bob you knew just how many car projects were still in progress.

Bob leaves behind his three children daughter Sandy (Marc) Hacker, son Robert (Lolita) Swadley Jr., & daughter Kathie (Jonathan) Dalton, six grandchildren and their spouses, and nine great grandchildren (with a tenth due in October).
