Robert C. Gable

Robert C. Gable, age 55, of Phoenixville, PA, passed away on Tuesday, December 24, 2024 at home following a recent hospitalization and surgeries leading to a Colon Cancer diagnosis. Born on April 11, 1969 in Phoenixville, PA, he was a son of the late Louise M. (Thornton) and Douglas C. Gable Sr. Bob was a 1987 graduate of Phoenixville High School. Following graduation, he furthered his studies by enrolling in horticulture classes in the mid-west. His early working years were spent at the family business, Gable's Florist in Phoenixville. When the shop closed, he worked as a gas station attendant and manager in Phoenixville and Limerick. He then went to work for the Protection Bureau as a security alarm operator, a job he held until his health declined just a few months ago. Throughout the years, he also enjoyed working as a private DJ for many local events. Following in his father's footsteps, Bob joined the fire service at the age of 16 with the Kimberton Fire Company, and later joined Valley Forge Fire Company and Phoenix Hose Hook and Ladder, volunteering as a firefighter. Most recently, at the Kimberton fire company, he served as a Fire Police Captain, membership secretary, and chair of the fair's hamburger stand. He was a social member of the Friendship Fire Company in Phoenixville and the Phoenixville VFW. Bob enjoyed spending time in the mountains, riding ATVs and shooting, collecting various items, and tinkering on cars. He will be remembered by his friends as willing to help others and always offering advice or knowledge. Many in the community knew Bob as the "real" Bob of Bob's Burgers. In recent years, many knew the hamburger stand as Bob's Burgers. Bob is survived by two daughters, Samantha Gable and April McIntire, wife of Shawn McIntire; three grandchildren, Rosalynn, Sebastian, and Fraser; three siblings, Louise M. Kritzberger, Douglas C. (Tricia) Gable Jr., and James A. (Caitlin) Gable; and five nieces and nephews, Ashley, Andrew, Cody, Courtney, and Lindsey. Relatives and friends are invited to attend his celebration of life at The Covered Bridge Room at Kimberton Fire Company, 2276 Kimberton Road, Kimberton, PA on Saturday, January 4, 2025.
