Obituary

OnT the morning of Saturday, March 21, 2015 Robert surrendered his last breath to our Lord. No longer is his body in any pain or strain. He can now rest his soul.

Robert attended James Rhoades Elementary School in the beginning of his early education and continued his learning at Overbrook High School, graduating at the age of sixteen. Wasting no time at all, he enrolled in the Army in 1973. After being honorably discharged two years later he joined the National Guard. Soon after, Robert met the love of his life, Antoinette Brody, quickly married her and made her his wife.

Robert and Antoinette Hearst , over the years birthed four boys, Damien Thomas Hearst, Robert Demond Hearst, Keenan Wayne Hearst and Jor-el Glen Hearst.

Upon the closing of the Shipyard, Robert made the big decision to leave Philadelphia in 1994 and to move his family to McAlester, Oklahoma, providing a better opportunity for his future. For 21 years Robert Hearst worked at the McAlester Army Ammunition plant, day in and day out, providing for his wife, sons, daugthers-in-law and grandchildren, not only financially but spiritually, uplifting everyone he encountered in his life.
