Obituary of Robert Louis Barr

Robert Louis Barr  

Robert (Bob) Louis Barr, born in Norristown on March 18, 1940, peacefully passed away on November 27, 2023, at Gywnedd Healthcare and Rehab, where he resided for the past two months.   Bob and his wife Beatrice (Bea) lived in Skippack for 40+ years.  Bob was a hard-working man with a career as a machinist.  He always enjoyed gardening and the outdoors and after his retirement started a small landscaping business.

Bob's passions were as diverse as his skills; he found joy in fishing, hunting, and country music. However, his true devotion lay in harness racing, where he owned and raced horses along the East Coast for over three decades. His happiest moments were celebrated in the winners' circle, surrounded by his family and friends.

Bob was immensely proud of his daughter, Kim Lannutti, and her husband Tony, along with his three grandchildren, Kelly and (Justin) Kassick, (Glen) and Jackie Mariani, Mike and (Mandy) Lannutti and his four great-grandchildren. Family gatherings and holidays were moments that Bob enjoyed, always relishing the time spent together with good food and laughter.

In addition to his daughter, Bob is survived by his wife, Beatrice who currently resides at Gwynedd Healthcare, her children Rick and (Kelly) Cianciulli of New Jersey, Cathe Cianciulli of King of Prussia , and Mary Cianciulli of East Norriton.

He will be dearly missed and remembered for his unwavering love for his family, his passion for life, and his dedication to the pursuits that brought him joy.
