Robert Guy “Bob” Peluso
On February 15, 2024 after 85 and a half amazing years Robert Guy “Bob” Peluso passed away peacefully with his family by his side. Family and friends know and love Bob as a son, brother, grandson, husband, dad, Papa, uncle, brother-in-law, father-in-law, cousin and friend. Bob was a scholar, scientist, rescuer, inventor, world traveler, conversationalist and story-teller. A Pitt Panther fan, hand baller, bowler, jokester, leader, and listener. The best Shamoo ride giver, wine maker, foodie, pasta maker, provider and helper. A Frank Sinatra aficionado, music lover, and Fox News junkie. He was non-judgemental and endlessly supportive. Impeccable with his word and generous with his time and money. A brilliant mind and a fierce heart. He was simply the best. Bob will be missed by everyone who knew him.
Friends and family will be received on Wednesday February 21st from 2-4 and 6-8 PM in The Huntsman Funeral Home and Cremation Services of Moon Twp. (1522 Coraopolis Hts. Rd.)

Olivet Catholic Cemetery, Hopewell.

Words are hard to come by. This poem would seem to fit for Bob, requiescat in pace:
If—
BY Rudyard Kipling
If you can keep your head when all about you
Are losing theirs and blaming it on you,
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,
But make allowance for their doubting too;
If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,
Or being lied about, don’t deal in lies,
Or being hated, don’t give way to hating,
And yet don’t look too good, nor talk too wise:
If you can dream—and not make dreams your master;
If you can think—and not make thoughts your aim;
If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster
And treat those two impostors just the same;
If you can bear to hear the truth you’ve spoken
Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,
Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken,
And stoop and build ’em up with worn-out tools:
If you can make one heap of all your winnings
And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss,
And lose, and start again at your beginnings
And never breathe a word about your loss;
If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew
To serve your turn long after they are gone,
And so hold on when there is nothing in you
Except the Will which says to them: ‘Hold on!’
If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
Or walk with Kings—nor lose the common touch,
If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you,
If all men count with you, but none too much;
If you can fill the unforgiving minute
With sixty seconds’ worth of distance run,
Yours is the Earth and everything that’s in it,
And—which is more—you’ll be a Man, my son!
Wow! This is truly a great poem that represents our father. Thank you for this ! Amore 🧡
Bobbie this is David. I love you so much but I love your family.

My deepest condolences to you and your family. I worked for Bob at MSHA. He was a great leader and friend.
I have the fondest memories of Bob and his sense of humor! He was a bright, hilarious and talented man. I’ve never met anyone like him, and would never expect to. He will be greatly missed. We are all blessed to have known him.
TO THE FAMILY
SORRY FOR YOUR LOSS
HE ALWAYS KNEW WHEN MY BDAY IS
HE WILL BE MISSED

You were a true friend!
I enjoyed our time together over the years cheering on Pitt
Life is Funny I met Doc later in Life and he became my Great Friend and through him I met you and you became my Great Friend
Now you are both in Heaven together again
I just wish we had more time to spend together
Love Ya

Shirley and Family, You are all in my thoughts and prayers. My deepest sympathies go out to all of you.
Mr. P was our Center Chief at MSHA’s Technical Support Center in Pittsburgh. He was great to work for – always friendly, very likeable, and fun to be around. My condolences.
Uncle Bob,
You were a true Patriarch, leading with kindness, love and warmth. You always had the patience and humor to embrace all of us by connecting with each of us.
You are loved and will be greatly missed.
Dear Shirley and Anna,
Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.
With deepest sympathy,
Bob and Mary Ann Sinicrope
Dear Shirley and Family… so sorry to hear of your loss… hugs and love coming your way!
