(Tierney) Fobia, of Spring City, PA, passed away peacefully surrounded by family on Monday, December 16, 2024 in the Reading Hospital after a battle with pancreatic cancer. Born on April 28, 1967 in Phoenixville, PA, he was a son of the late Joyce E. (Zerr) and Robert J. Fobia Sr.

Bob was a graduate of Spring-Ford High School, class of 1985. He became a certified HVAC mechanic after attending the Philadelphia Wireless Technical Institute, and he worked for 20 years in the HVAC field for Emery Oil in Kimberton until his retirement.

Bob grew up attending Providence Church of the Brethren, and more recently was a current member of Parker Ford Church. He was a volunteer firefighter for Limerick Fire Company, and he was a past Cub Scout Master for Pack 157 in Parker Ford as well as a past Scout Master for Troop 406 in Royersford. He was a proud mentor for the youth through the church, scouts, and sports.

Bob enjoyed playing the guitar, woodworking, working on home improvement projects, and working on cars. Most importantly, however, he cherished the time he spent with family, and he loved being a Pop Pop to his grandchildren.

In addition to his wife, Bob is survived by three children, Alyssa N., wife of Tim Walter, Robert C. Fobia, and Joshua A. Fobia; two grandchildren, Caleb and Maisy; one brother, Tracey J., husband of Heather Fobia; his niece, Samantha, wife of Justin Fittin and their children Chloe and Gabriel.
