Robert “Bob” Liddy

Robert “Bob” Liddy – Rochester

Robert Phillip Liddy, 87 of Rochester, died peacefully on January 17, 2022 at Cedar Court Assisted Living in Adams, MN where he had resided for 7 years.

Bob was born on March 16, 1934 in LeRoy, MN to Alice Liddy. He grew up in LeRoy, MN and graduated from High School there. Soon thereafter, he began working at St. Marys Hospital in Rochester as a custodian. He was proud to retire after over 40 years. On August 22, 1959, he married Sharon Ryan in Eyota at Holy Redeemer Catholic Church. The couple made Rochester their home. Bob loved a good conversation with anyone, any time, any place. He was known as a “jokester” who would tell tall-tales and loved to cruise car lots, picking out his favorites. He, Sharon, and the family, loved to go for car rides and take the “scenic route” for a getaway, especially to Lake City, MN. Stopping to eat along the way was always on the agenda.

Bob is survived by his wife of 62 years, Sharon, of Adams, MN, his daughter Jane (Mark Schellhammer) Sandmeyer of Rochester, his grandchildren Chris Sandmeyer of Rochester, Megan Sandmeyer of Rochester and two great-grandsons Kael and Kyler Sandmeyer of Winona.

He is preceded in death by his mother and his son Todd Liddy.

The Funeral Service for Robert will be held on Saturday, January 22, 2022 at 10:30AM in the River Park Chapel at Macken Funeral Home. Visitation will be held one hour prior to the funeral at the chapel with Father Thomas Loomis officiating. Burial will be in Holy Redeemer Catholic Cemetery, Eyota, MN.

Condolences

The family of Robert “Bob” Liddy has received the following condolences.

Sharon and Jane, it's sad to hear of the passing of Bob.  First, thank you Jane for taking the time to find my sister to let her know.  I now think back to Cletus' working days.  I suppose that I was in grade school when he would stop off, with me and my brother Jim in tow, to visit.  I remember stops at your house and Dave's and Louie's.  I don't recall their last names.  I remember some parties at "The Lot" on Marion Road with Sharon and Bob being there.  I think Jim has the photo albums.  We may have lost our loved ones here on Earth, but they will always be with us in our memories.  Our thoughts and prayers are with you.

Sharon and Jane -


Sending thoughts, prayers and sympathy.  Having grown up just a couple of doors from Bob and Sharon meant you always had a friend in the neighborhood.  Bob was always willing to lend an ear, offer advice, tell a tall tale, share a compliment or just chill out...even with a teenager.  Rest in peace, Bob.  Your memory is a blessing.

Rest in by Peace Robert! 

Sorry to hear about your dads passing .


 

Jane,


I didn't know your dad, but I knew how very much he meant to you and the rest of your family. Hang onto those happy memories - the jokes, the laughter, the things that made him smile. They will sustain you in this difficult time and remind you of the good long life he lived. And though he will be missed, he will never truly be gone.


Peace to you.

Jane and family, I am so very sorry for your loss.  I loved seeing your visits with your mom and dad and I know he will be truly missed.  Thinking of you and keeping you all in my prayers.
