Robert J. Scotchie

AUSTINTOWN- Robert J. Scotchie passed away at home on September 1, 2014. Bobby was born July 24, 1947 to the late Andrew and Anna Marie (Hollis) Scotchie. Bob graduated from Austintown Fitch High School and later Youngstown State University. Bob married T. Kimberly Scotchie on February 10, 1990 and for over 25 years they were the loves of each other's lives; living their lives with laughter; living their lives with love; and living their lives out loud. Along with Kimberly, Bobby's spirit is carried on through his daughters, Heather (Dennis) Anderson and Allison (William) Bugzavich; his grandson PFC Thor "Woobie" Guillard; and granddaughters, Olivia and Annabelle Bugzavich who were the apples of his eye. Bobby also leaves five loving brothers who were his greatest support, Andrew (Connie) Scotchie of Ashville, NC, Frank (Dee) Scotchie of Liberty, OH, John (Theresa) Scotchie, of Millsboro, DE, Larry (Mary Ann) Scotchie of Maitland, FL, and Jim (Ruth) Scotchie of Ooltewah, TN. Bob was also the proud uncle of many nieces and nephews and great-nieces and great-nephews. He was preceded in death by his parents Andrew and Anna Marie. Bob gave his heart to the recovery community working as a counselor at The Neil Kennedy Recovery Clinic and as the owner of Scotchie and Associates. He believed where much has been given, more is expected. Bob lived his life dangerously as a diehard Browns fan in the middle of a family of Steeler maniacs. Bobby was loved by all who knew him. His life speaks for itself. A memorial service will be announced and held on a later date. Family and friends may send condolences to www.lanefuneralhomes.com .
