Robert "Rob" W. Heber
September 18, 1957 — April 5, 2022
Robert W. Heber “Rob,” 64, of Boynton Beach, Florida passed away suddenly on April 5, 2022.
Born September 18, 1957, in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, Rob later attended Penn State University and graduated from the University of Pittsburgh with a degree in chemistry. He held numerous jobs in the chemical field and later navigated to sales. Around that time, he insisted on moving to Florida, having enjoyed many wonderful vacations there with Debbie’s family. After several more sales jobs, the latest being with CP Films, he found teaching, his true passion. He earned his degree in education in Palm Beach County, Florida and went to work teaching at Lake Shore Middle School in Belle Glade, Florida, where he specialized in math and science in the ESE program. He loved working with the children and was very fond of the Lake Shore Middle School Family. He looked forward to going to work every day and the kids couldn’t wait for Fridays at “Mr. Heber’s Store.”
Rob and Deb worked very hard together to create a tropical paradise at their Boynton Beach home. He enjoyed spending time with his fur babies: Pumpkin the cat, and dogs Larry, Artie and Daisy. He loved the ocean and spent many hours at the Boynton Beach Inlet, where he often grilled lunch for himself and Debbie.
Rob will be lovingly remembered by his beloved wife, Deborah of almost 44 years, his two daughters: Kelly (Iain) Dunning and Robin (Dennis) Simpson, grandchildren; Denny (6), Alice (2) and Eliza (6 months); his sister Carol (Bill-deceased) Cherry and brother Chuck (Brenda) Heber; nephews Kevin and Brian, Charlie and Eric. He was predeceased by his parents: Charles and Mary W. Heber.
A “Celebration of Life” in memory of Rob will be held on Saturday, April 23, 2022, Open House, 1-5 PM at their home in Boynton Beach, 3936 Aladdin Ave. Rob will be cremated.
