Robert G. “Bob” McCullough, 71, passed away peacefully into the loving arms of Jesus on Tuesday, November 27, 2018, at 9:58 am. He battled cancer for the last 2 ½ years of his life but faced the journey with grace, courage, dignity and humility.
Bob was born on March 5, 1947, to Jack and Frances McCullough in Natrona Heights, PA. He graduated from both Har-Brack High School and West Liberty State College in Wheeling, WV with degrees in Marketing and Management. Most of his career was in Marketing for the banking industry where he was always thinking of ways to be creative. He loved spending time with his wife, children and grandchildren. Bob’s desire was to leave a legacy of his love for the Lord and for them to walk faithfully with Him. His infectious smile never left his gentle, kind face and will be remembered by all.
Bob is survived by his wife of almost 50 years, Toni; daughters Meghan (Todd) Pease of Cincinnati, OH, Mandi (EJ) Tolentino of Noblesville; 4 grandchildren Olivia, Drew, Carter and Eleanor; his brother Jack (Bea) McCullough of Murrysville, PA. Bob’s brother William (Patty) McCullough, Verona, PA preceded him in death. He also leaves behind his sisters and brothers-in-law, nieces and nephews and many faithful, loving friends.

Dear Toni, we are in South Carolina for the week with Nancy Jenkins (another name from the past) and just learned of your loss from Karen through Kayoko.

Toni, Bob was a faithful friend to me as we battled cancer together this year. He was an encourager even when he was the one needing encouragement. I am grateful for the many texts and calls that we shared. I will remember fondly his friendship through CBMC and his stand for and love of Christ. My heart aches for you and your girls. Even though we can find great comfort in knowing we will see Bob again soon, the pain of missing such a lovely, loving husband, father, and friend is real and normal. I will be praying for you and your family.
Jim and Susan Flaig says
Dear Bob, we have fond memories of you and your family. You were always a very kind and genuinely spiritual person…a true role model for others. We are confident the Lord has embraced you in His loving arms and welcomed you home, for a life well lived. You were truly a faithful servant.
Dear Toni, Meghan, and Mandi, our prayers are with you, as you grieve the loss of your very loving and dear husband and father. Bob was such a treasure. I talked with Amanda and Emily this morning, and we remembered your family and all the good times we spent together when you lived in Ravenwood.
Find comfort in the Lord, let him heal your broken hearts. ❤️
James Johnson says
Thanks for believing in me Bob.
Brittany says
I wanted to send my love and condolences to the McCullough family. I’m very sorry for your loss. Know that God is eager to bring back to life our loved ones whom we have lost in death. God hates death; he views it as an enemy. (1 Corinthians 15:26) He has “a yearning” to conquer that enemy, to undo death by means of the resurrection. He longs to bring back those who are in his memory and to see them live on earth again. God purposes to do this by means of the resurrection hope as He has promised in His Word, the Bible. (John 5:28,29) Please consider these comforting scriptures in your personal copy of the Bible. My thoughts and prayers are with you at this time.
Beth Vogel says
