Robert E. Boettcher

Robert E. "Rob" Boettcher Jr., 49, of Ephrata, formerly of Clarks Summit, passed away surrounded by his loving family on November 26, 2020. Born in Scranton, he was the son of Judith B. (Macknosky) Boettcher and the late Robert E. Boettcher Sr.. He was the loving husband of Angela "Angie" M. Boettcher, with whom he shared more than 20 years of marriage, and the devoted father of Hannah E. Boettcher.

Rob dedicated more than 18 years of loyal service to Land-O-Lakes, Inc. as a Transportation Manager for the east coast. Considered an expert in his field, he created meaningful relationships with milk haulers, dairy facilities, and field personnel. He was well respected and considered more of a friend than a coworker by all.

He will be fondly remembered for his thoughtful and caring ways and his willingness to serve others. If anyone needed help, they knew they could count on Rob. He wouldn't think twice about helping out or lending his tools. Though not formally trained, he was a master craftsman and enjoyed working on many projects and renovations around his home.

Most importantly Rob loved his family. Spending time with Angie and Hannah was something he cherished. The day he became a father was the greatest day of his life and he never once took a moment for granted. Going to car museums and shows or tinkering with his Jeep and motorcycles, he enjoyed sharing his passions with family and friends. Rob also enjoyed golfing, bicycling and politics.

He will be deeply missed by all who knew him; but especially by his wife Angie, daughter Hannah, mother Judy, and brothers: Steven Boettcher, husband of Tami of Olyphant, Carl Boettcher, loving partner of Cindy Kreidler of Moosic, Mark Boettcher, husband of Christina of Clarks Summit and Edward Boettcher, husband of Bridgette of Mayfield as well as numerous nieces and nephews. He was preceded in passing by his father.

Visitation will be held on Friday, December 11, 2020 from 5-7pm at Lawrence E. Young Funeral Home, 418 S. State Street, Clarks Summit, PA  18411. Due to COVID-19, masks will be required for all who attend and only a limited number of people will be permitted inside the funeral home at one time.
