Robert Allen Rustay, Sr.

Robert Allen Rustay Sr., 65, of New Cumberland, took his last ride on Sept. 30, 2025. He was born on Nov. 30, 1959 to the late Harold and Ethel (Stile) Rustay.

Bob was counting down the days to retirement where he could finally spend more time with his beloved wife, who he called his Queen, and his motorcycle, which he affectionately nicknamed his "mistress." On weekends, he could frequently be found in the garden or out taking long rides with his wife. He loved spending time at the range with his sons and grandson exercising his right to bear arms, or enjoying a steak with an ice cold beer in his hand. He recently adopted a new puppy, Harley, who quickly stole his heart. He enjoyed playing fetch and spoiling her rotten with the best toys available. He loved America, cold beer, the New York Yankees and the Beatles, but most of all he will be remembered for how much he loved his wife and his family. Everyone he met was a new friend. He had a giant heart and a passion for what he believed in. He was never afraid to stand up for what he thought was right.

Bob's life of love and laughter will forever be cherished by his wife, Mary (Tyson) Bowers; his sons, Bob Jr. (Maria), Dan (Cheri) Rustay, and his stepsons, Josh (Katie Baker) Bowers and Kacey (Marisa) Bowers. He leaves behind his grandchildren, Robert, Shaunna, Cali, Chase, Iver, Troy, Dash and Camden. He is also survived by his sister, Linda Unger; niece, Tracy Unger-Gabor; and nephews, Geoff Unger and Michael Serra.

A Celebration of Life will be held at 2 PM on Saturday, October 12, 2025 at the Oak Grove Club, 6 Schuler Street, Wilkes Barre, PA 18702.
