Robert "Bob" Reyan

"What we once enjoyed and deeply loved we can never lose, for all that we love deeply becomes part of us." On Thursday, January 20, 2022, Robert "Bob" S. Reyan, 77, of Warren Center, PA, passed away peacefully at his home. Bob was born in Bronx, NY on Tuesday, February 22, 1944, and was the eldest of eight siblings of Irene Mojeko. He left the city in his teens for Northeastern Pennsylvania, where he met and married the love of his life, Jennie. They were married for 54 years before she predeceased him on September 12, 2018. After high school, Bob served in the US Army, reaching the rank of Sergeant (E-5) within two years and earning the National Defense Service Medal and the Good Conduct Medal. After leaving the service, he and Jennie made a home in Northeastern Pennsylvania, living in Neath, PA for more than 50 years. Bob was known for his strong work ethic and commitment to doing things right. For more than four decades, he was a self-employed contractor who enjoyed building homes and remodeling as well as home repair and maintenance-just not at Jennie's home. Bob is survived by his son Robert "Rob" and daughter-in-law Holly of Friendsville, PA: his daughter, Stacy Reyan of Alexandria, VA; and his grandsons Tanner and Reirdan, of whom Bob was so proud. He is preceded in death by his Irish twin, Julie "Joe" Reyan, and survived by Joe's wife, Phyllis of Houston, TX. He is also survived by brothers Stanley Reyan of Rocky Point, Long Island, NY, Charles "Chuck" Reyan of Friendsville, PA; sisters Mary (Jay) Tyma of McConnelsville, OH; Karen (John) Poulos of Islip, NY; Lynn (Michael) Ruggiero of Lake Mary, FL; and Anne (Chris) McDonnell of Port St. Lucie, FL.
