Help Raise Money For Funeral and Medical Costs.

Words cannot describe how we are feeling right now. Not even a year after losing our son Richard I now lost my husband. My heart is broken. In 2018 Robert injured his back while working he was unable to return to work. His health has been such a struggle for our family and himself. He spent 33 days admitted into Atlantic General Hospital from January into February. This was when we found out his kidneys were compromised from an infection and he began dialysis. I was unable to continue working while caring for Robert full time as we attempted to rehabilitate him and help him get the strength he needed for a transplant. We worked hard and Bob fought vigorously for 9 weeks until he became ill during dialysis and had to be rushed to the hospital. He spent the next 33 days in the ICU fighting infection after infection until he lost his battle on the morning of Saturday, May, 7th after many months of pain and suffering. All donations will go to Funeral costs and medical bills which total over $100,000. Just before he fell ill, we lost the life insurance he had through work and his health insurance only covered a small portion of his hospital bills and treatment.

We thank you in advance for any and all donations. Please share this fundraiser to help spread awareness.

Robert Thomas Wojcik, 56, of Wilkes-Barre PA, passed away on May 7th, 2022, surrounded by his loving family. He resided with his wife Denise Devens of 33 years in Ocean City, MD.

 

Bob was born on December 22nd, 1965, in Wilkes Barre, PA, the son of Thomas and Stella Wojcik. Growing up, Bob enjoyed spending time with loved ones and liked playing football with his friends at the VA hospital, where they called themselves the "Boulevard Braves." He loved telling the stories about laying it all out on the gridiron and brought that same passion into his love of the New York Jets, although he called being a Jets fan a “torturous life.” Bob loved watching Monster trucks, particularly his favorite, “Grave Digger.” He trained in Karate as a kid, which he continued with his own children. Bob graduated from James M. Coughlin High school in 1983 and began working at Warren George Drilling shortly after. He then began working in the dental industry as an installer/technician, where he adopted the nickname Bob-O. On October 22nd, 1988, he married his wife Denise in Plymouth, PA. They resided with their sons Richard and Ryan in Wilkes-Barre, PA and enjoyed vacationing as a family in Ocean City, MD. Bob loved spending time on the beach, boogie boarding, jet skiing, riding go-carts and going to the water park with his sons, and enjoyed parasailing with his son Richard. In 2010 Bob and Denise continued their dream and moved to Ocean City, MD, with their son Ryan where Bob loved overlooking the water while grilling and spending time with his family. He was a loving husband (my rock) and an amazing dad who was always there for his children. Bob was the kind of person who was always willing to lend a helping hand to anyone in need.

 

Bob was preceded in death by his father, Thomas Wojcik, and his son Richard Wojcik(34), who passed away less than a year ago.

 

Bob is survived by his loving wife Denise Devens Wojcik, son Ryan Wojcik (Kristen), sister Linda Harris (Jake), mother Stella Wojcik, brother Thomas Wojcik, daughter-in-law Meghan Galbraith, and granddaughters Reilly and Ceci.
