Robert E. “Rob” Boettcher, Jr., 49
November 26, 2020
Robert E. “Rob” Boettcher Jr., 49, of Ephrata, formerly of Clarks Summit, passed away surrounded by his loving family on November 26, 2020. Born in Scranton, he was the son of Judith B. (Macknosky) Boettcher and the late Robert E. Boettcher Sr. He was the loving husband of Angela “Angie” M. Boettcher with whom he shared more than 20 years of marriage and the devoted father of Hannah E. Boettcher.
Rob dedicated more than 18 years of loyal service to Land-O-Lakes, Inc. as a Transportation Manager for the east coast. Considered an expert in his field, he created meaningful relationships with milk haulers, dairy facilities and field personnel. He was well respected and was considered more of a friend than a co-worker by all.
He will be fondly remembered for his thoughtful and caring ways and his willingness to serve others. If anyone needed help, they knew they could count on Rob. He would not think twice about helping or lending his tools. Though not formally trained, he was a master craftsman and enjoyed working on many projects and renovations around his home.
Most importantly Rob loved his family. Spending time with Angie and Hannah was something he cherished. The day he became a father was the greatest day of his life and he never once took a moment for granted. Going to car museums and shows or tinkering with his Jeep and motorcycles, he enjoyed sharing his passions with family and friends. Rob also enjoyed golfing, bicycling and politics.
He will be deeply missed by all who knew him; but especially by his wife Angie, daughter Hannah, mother Judy, and brothers: Steven Boettcher, husband of Tami of Olyphant, Carl Boettcher, loving partner of Cindy Kreidler of Moosic, Mark Boettcher, husband of Christina of Clarks Summit and Edward Boettcher, husband of Bridgette of Mayfield as well as numerous nieces and nephews. He was preceded in passing by his father.
A Memorial Service will be held on Sunday, December 6, 2020 at 12PM at the Charles F. Snyder Jr. Funeral Home & Crematory, 3110 Lititz Pike, Lititz, PA. Friends and family are invited to attend a visitation from 10AM-12PM. In lieu of flowers memorial contributions may be made in Rob’s name to JDRF of Central PA, in honor of his daughter, Hannah, who was diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes in 2016.
A live stream link to view the service will appear on this page shortly before 12 PM on Sunday, December 6, 2020. Please refresh the page closer to the time of the service.

Angie and Hannah my heart breaks for you. Rob and I worked together at Krapf Coaches many years ago. He never forgot us and would stop by every now and then to say hello. Rob was truly the best co worker I ever had. I loved working with him. He touched so many during his journey. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

I worked with Rob for a few years during my time at the Carlisle Land O’Lakes facility. Rob had one of the toughest jobs around and was always our go-to guy when things didn’t go as planned. He never complained and never got upset at the situation, even when it was in the middle of the night or on a weekend. He was the type of guy who took the time to send you a personal note showing his support, or a joke to lighten the mood. My deepest sympathies to his family. Rob will be greatly missed.

Having worked with Rob since he’s been at Land O Lakes I can tell you he was one of the best at his job, but more importantly he’s one of the best human beings you will ever know. He was more than just the person I called with a work problem he was a friend and he will be greatly missed. My thoughts and prayers are with his family and friends.

Facebook can be a gift. I believe FB has reunited and reintroduced many. Some friends back in the day. Some acquaintances. It has been a pleasure to watch your life as a family grow over the years. I’ve always enjoyed your pictures and your shared humor as a family.
Angie and Hannah, please feel my gentle hug for each of you. In so sorry for your loss.

Son, Brother, Husband, Father, Uncle, Neighbor, Co-worker, Mentor and FRIEND. The amount of people you touched in such a short time on this earth is a testament to your kindness, selflessness, and humor. You will be missed by many you knew, and by many who didn’t yet have time to know you. Those are the people I feel for. To know you was one of life’s pleasures, and I am a better person because of you. To the Boettcher family, I am truly sorry for your loss. To Rob—I’m going to miss you my friend.
