Harsh

Robert Earl “Bob” Harsh, 93, of Cranberry Township, was called home by the “ole boy” upstairs on Friday, Jan. 6, 2023, surrounded by his loved ones.

He was born on May 28, 1929, in Carrollton, Ohio, and was the son of the late Homer F. and Jeanie Marie (Gallon) Harsh. He was the oldest of 19 children.

Bob retired at the rank of sergeant first class from the U.S. Army after 23 years of service, including multiple tours in Korea and Vietnam. He later retired from the U.S. Postal Service after 20 years of service.

He married Geraldine L. Indrunas on Oct. 4, 1982. She preceded him in death after 24 years together.

In his younger days, Bob enjoyed riding motorcycles, dancing and listening to country and polka music. He always loved playing cards, fishing, camping and visiting family and friends. He could fix anything and loved helping everyone. “Bob’s Garage” saved hundreds of lawn mowers, golf carts, kids toys and more over the years. He earned his favorite titles of “Grandpap,” “Pops” and “Pappy” later in life, and spoiling his grand and great-grandbabies became the “favorite job he ever had.”

Bob is survived by four children, Robert (Sylvia) Harsh of Montreal, Canada, Kathryn (Edward) Sell of Valencia, Richard Dean Jr. of Valencia and Rebecca (Ashley) Harsh of Cranberry Township.

He also is survived by and dearly missed by his 13 grandkids and six great-grandkids.

HARSH — Arrangements for Robert Earl “Bob” Harsh, who died Friday, Jan. 6, 2023, were entrusted to BOYLAN-GLENN-KILDOO FUNERAL HOME & CREMATION SERVICES, 130 Wisconsin Ave., Cranberry Township.

Robert and Geraldine will be laid to rest privately in Harlem Springs Cemetery in Ohio.
