MAGEE, Robert “Bob” – 83, of Cape May, NJ and Orlando, FL passed away on June 8, 2016. A man of honor, Bob proudly served in the United States Army during the Korean War. He worked briefly for the Philadelphia Inquirer and as a mathematics teacher prior to his career as a systems analyst/programmer for the Naval Depot in Philadelphia, retiring in 1989. “What’s on the agenda today?” was one of Bob’s well-known quips while living his life fully and with enthusiasm. He enjoyed telling stories (some tall), square dancing with friends, singing, Atlantic City Casino trips, golfing, sitting on the porch waving hello, Philadelphia Eagles Football, adding to his ever-growing baseball hat collection, and most of all the love he cultivated over the years and will continue to share with his family. He is predeceased by his son, Bob; mother, Gertrude; father, Edwin; sisters, Sis and Maureen and his brother, Ed. Bob is dearly missed by his loving family which includes his wife of 59 years, Gladys; sister, Betty Taylor; 2 sons; Mike Magee, Jim (and Denise) Magee; daughter-in-law, Stella Magee; daughter, Teri (and Rob) Van Fossen; niece, Celeste Stein, who he loved like a daughter; 14 grandchildren, Kristian, Stephanie, Leigh Ann, Bobby, Eddie, Maria, Mary, Annie, Manny, Shannon, Faith, Kelly, Chris and Meg; 10 great grandchildren, Liam, Caelyn, Sophia, Madilyn, John, Aiden, Grady, Ellie, Nolan and Lizzy; cousin Dr. Theodore (and Terry) Berry; sister-in-law, Geri Lemmon; nieces, nephews, extended family and many close friends.
