Robert Bloor

In Loving Memory of Robert “Bob” Bloor

January 23, 1948 – August 3, 2025

Robert “Bob” Bloor of Angier, North Carolina, passed away peacefully on Sunday

August, 3 2025 at SECU Hospice House in Smithfield, NC, after a courageous

battle with cancer. He was 77 years old.

Born in Trenton, New Jersey, Bob was the son of the late Edward and Louise

(Mitten) Bloor. He grew up in Hamilton Township and graduated from Steinert

High School. In 1966, he enlisted in the United States Air Force and proudly

served his country until 1970, stationed at Hickam Airforce base in Oahu, Hawaii.

He was honorably discharged at the rank of Sargeant.

Following his military service, Bob pursued his education through the GI bill and

earned a Bachelor of Science in Finance from Rider University. He went on to

build a successful 40-year career as a corporate Credit Manager with Caldwell

Supply Company, later Bradley Caldwell, based in Trenton NJ and Hazleton, PA.

He lived for many years in Drums, PA.

In 1995, Bob earned his private pilot license and found joy in flying his Piper

Cherokee. After retiring in 2018, he followed a new passion – cooking – by

enrolling in culinary classes at Luzerne County Community College. A lifelong

learner, Bob had an insatiable curiosity and love of knowledge that enriched every

stage of his life. He enjoyed relaxing with a cigar and loved to travel and cruise.

His favorite destination was New Orleans.

Bob is survived by his beloved wife, Dianne (Sheer/Seibert) Bloor; his children

Martin Bloor and wife Mariann of Jersey City, NJ; Kenneth Bloor of Kissimmee,

FL; and James Seibert and his wife Monika of Raleigh NC. He was a devoted

grandfather to Zoë and Ivo. He is also survived by his brother Ernest Bloor and his

sister-in-law Kathy of Hamilton, NJ; sisters Carole Gumbas and brother-in-law

John of Hamilton, NJ; and Barbara Hathaway of Columbus, NJ along with several

nieces and nephews.

He was predeceased by his parents; sister Lorraine Grondahl, and brothers-in-law

Robert “Ike” Hathaway and Ken Grondahl.

A memorial service will be held at Saul’s Colonial Funeral Home, 3795

Nottingham Way, Hamilton Square, NJ 08690. Details will be shared with family

and friends.
