Robert “Bob” Watkins, 69, of Frostburg, went to be with our Lord, on Saturday, July 1, 2023, at UPMC. Born May 21,1954, in Cumberland, Bob was the son of the late Robert Stump Watkins and the late Eleanor (Wolfington) Watkins. Bob was a graduate of Fort Hill High School, Class of 1972. He started working at the A&P market while in high school and retired as an Assistant Manager.

Bob was a firefighter and EMT for several fire companies in WV in his younger years. He enjoyed hunting and fishing, spending countless hours at Lions Pond in Frostburg the last couple of years, where he made many new friends and their canine companions. He also enjoyed watching Bonanza and Gunsmoke when it was too cold to fish. He was a die- hard Washington Redskin fan.

He was a member of Faith Independent Baptist Church.
