Obituary of Robert Way

Robert “Bob” Way, born in Bridgeport, CT. on 01/17/1952, finally went to hear the angels sing on 08/30/2011, after a very long illness. Bob married his high school sweetheart, Betsy Tucker, on 09/06/1975. They had been happily married for 35 years. They both moved to Maine in 1973, and had two daughters, Jennifer Lyn and Sarah Elizabeth. Besides his family, Bob loved to fish, hunt, and garden. While Bob had many health problems, in 2001, he was run over by a truck, which only intensified these problems. Before that, he worked for the town of Buckfield, with his good buddy, Phil. After many years of driving a sales van for Lewiston Welding Supply, his health forced him to change jobs. He then started driving school bus for SAD 39, with all his good friends—and you all know who you are. Of his entire working career, he loved this job the most. Bob leaves his wife, Betsy, and his daughters, Jen and Sarah, all of Hartford, his father, Robert and sister of PA., brother Rick and wife Kathy and children, of CT., and other family members. He was predeceased by his beloved mother, Jean, a nephew John, and niece Kelly. Arrangements for Bob’s passing will be private. The family requests in lieu of flowers, cards may be sent to the family care of Betsy Way, PO Box 96, Buckfield, ME 04220.
