Robert J. Dvorsky

Robert J. Dvorsky, of State College, PA, went to be with Lord and Savior Jesus Christ on August 31, 2025.

Born in 1943 and raised in Lansford, Bob was the son of the late Joseph and Matilda (Stricek) Dvorsky. Bob was also predeceased by the love of his life, Theresa (Kachurak) Dvorsky, who passed away on June 30, 2025, and his sister, Bernice Nerenberg.

He is survived by his children, Christine Lukowitsch and her husband Martin of Charlotte, NC; Kathy Dvorsky of Emmaus, PA; and Joseph Dvorsky and his wife Katherine Frank of Menomonie, WI.

A 1961 graduate of Lansford High School, Bob matriculated to Penn State University, graduating in 1965, and began a 22-year career with PP&L. Eventually Bob and Theresa founded Valley Athletic Supply in Lansford, purchased the Panther Valley Mini Mall, and successfully ran both businesses for many years.

After retiring to State College, Bob enjoyed cheering for Penn State athletic teams and was a very active member of Oakwood Presbyterian Church. Bob worked for the local Mercedes Benz dealer, sold medical insurance, and was a supervisor and tour guide at the Penn State All Sports Museum. A lifelong fitness buff, he was an avid runner and golfer.

 Mostly, Bob was a devoted husband, father, and friend who touched the lives of many with his boundless curiosity and enthusiasm.
