Pap spent most of his life in his beloved Ruffsdale, Pennsylvania where he took great pride in his career driving tractor trailers and was a recipient of many safety awards. Although never verified, it is rumored that Pap drove his entire life without a speeding ticket. Pap was a wonderful grandfather to Eric Vargosko & Jason Vargosko and his great-grandson, Jacob Vargosko who always enjoyed their time with him.
Robert and his wife Esther, relocated with their daughter and her family to Mooresville, North Carolina in 2004.
