Clyde "Bob" Robert Funk

Clyde was born on July 30, 1939, in Hecla, Westmoreland Co. PA, and attended Hurst High School in Mt. Pleasant Township with the class of 1957.

He was predeceased by his loving wife of 63 years, Nora Faye “Snookie” (Hoke) Funk; parents Clyde A. Funk and Dorothy J. Brawdy; father-in-law and mother-in-law Vernon “Duke” and Catherine (Pritts) Hoke; loving brothers Dr. Harry Funk, Larry Funk, and Paul Funk; and loving sister-in-law Gloria Randall.

Clyde retired after proudly working for 31 years at Babcock and Wilcox. He enjoyed tinkering in his garage, especially working on his MG and Triumph cars. Clyde received great joy from spending time with his two grandsons, his favorite granddaughter, and his great-grandson whom he affectionately called “The Big Guy.”

Clyde is survived by and will be sadly missed and fondly remembered by his son Robert (Susan) Funk and daughter Amy Espey; brothers Jack (Debbie) Funk and Randy (LuJuana) Brawdy; brothers-in-law Wade Hoke and Dick Randall; grandsons Robert (Jen) Guidice and Ryan Guidice; granddaughter Stephanie Funk and great-grandson Greyson Fenstermaker; several cousins, and many nieces and nephews.

The family would like to extend their deepest appreciation for and gratitude to the staff at Concordia at Villa St. Joseph Personal Care for taking such wonderful, compassionate care of our dad and PapPap. Their goodwill in joking around with him always put a smile on his face.
