YORKTOWN — It is with great sadness that the family of Robert “Bob” Weakley, 81, announce his passing on Thursday, July 29, 2021, while surrounded by his loved ones.
He was a native of Culpeper and a 1956 graduate of Culpeper High School. From there, he enlisted in the U.S. Air Force, where he proudly served our country for 21 years. He then went on to work for the U.S. Postal Service and retired in 2000.
He was preceded in death by his parents, Leland Maxwell and Lillian Virginia Weakley; brother, James T. Weakley; and two children, including daughter, Corinna Sue Brodie, and son, Robert Gary Weakley.
He is survived by his wife, Carol Weakley of Yorktown; four daughters, Dee Riter (John) of Yorktown, Yvonne Beyer (Todd) of Clemmons, N.C., Denise Brown (Bill) of Yorktown and Darcie Eggleston of Williamsburg; son, David Dinter (Ruth) of Colonial Park, Pa.; 10 grandchildren, Heather Hunt, Lakin Leas, Joshua Riter, Melissa Holman, Timothy Beyer, Jake Brown, Emily Thomas, Alex Brown, Rebecca Dinter and Mason Eggleston; and four great-grandchildren.
In honoring his wishes, his ashes will be spread on Old Rag Mountain. A celebration of life service will be held at a later date.
The family would like to offer our sincere thanks and gratitude to the doctors and nursing staff of Riverside Hospital’s Emergency Room, CCU and MICU departments who gave such tender and amazing care to Bob during his stay.
In lieu of flowers, the family is asking that you make donations to the DAV of Yorktown, 1700 George Washington Memorial Highway, Suite E, Yorktown, VA 23693; or the Peninsula SPCA, 523 J. Clyde Morris Blvd, Newport News, VA 23601.
