d. May 28, 2016
Robert Noel Power passed away on May 28, 2016. He was born in Lynchburg, Virginia, the son of the late Sam Will and Elizabeth Power.
As a faithful, active member of Quaker Memorial Presbyterian Church for over 50 years, he served as an Elder and on the Session Committee. Bob retired after 30 years’ service with the Virginia Department of Transportation as a Right of Way Engineer. He attended Virginia Polytechnic Institute (VA Tech) before transferring to Lynchburg College where he received his BA. Bob served 4 years in the United States Air Force and 2 years in the Army National Guard. He was also a member of the Eubank Masonic Lodge in Lynchburg and served 8 years on the Board of Westminster Canterbury in Lynchburg.
Bob was well known for his years as a leader with Boy Scout Troop 180 where he proudly watched his son, Stephen, earn his Eagle Scout. The joy of being a father to his daughter Nicole, lead him through many states with the traveling Junior Olympic Volleyball Team.
After retirement from VDOT, he enjoyed his affiliation with Milton Neal Realty as a Real Estate Agent, along with Lyons Realty. In his free time, he enjoyed his love for golfing, flying and hours of boating and relaxation at Smith Mountain Lake. Couples Golf at Ivy Hill played a big part in his social life. The most precious time of all was spent watching his 4 grandsons compete in their sports.
Knowing Bob was one of the greatest gifts of life. His 80 years of life were well invested.
