Guntrum

Robert D. “Moonie” Guntrum, 71, of Hilliards, passed away early Monday morning at Good Samaritan Hospice at Concordia following a more than two year courageous battle with cancer.

Born in Butler on April 17, 1951, he was the son of the late Dean and Violet Yaccino Guntrum.

He was a member of First United Methodist Church of Butler.

In earlier years, Moonie worked for Grove City Paving, and later for G.O. Hawbaker, from where he retired as a heavy equipment operator.

“Maggie,” his pet Sheltie, was at his side for nearly 13 years until her passing.

He and his wife, Rita, enjoyed traveling around the country, as well as participating in many cruises.

Besides fishing, his other hobby was working with automotive machinery.

Surviving are his wife, the former Rita Sullivan; two daughters, Amy (Patrick) Hortert of Butler and Tammy (Kristopher) Goas of Parker; one son, Chad (Emily) Guntrum of West Sunbury; his grandchildren, Chelsey Guntrum, Kayla (Jarrod) Knox, Nikolas (Alli) Goas, Brennan Zanella, Taylor (Katie) Zanella and Craig and Shari Hortert; his great-grandchildren, Riley, Reagan and Jameson Knox, and Miles, Ava and Elise Goas; and his father-in-law, James Sullivan of Hilliards.
