Robert L. Zirinsky

Robert L Zirinsky passed away in St. Lukes Hospital in Fountain Hill, PA on Saturday, March 23, 2024. 
 
Bob was born on December 26, 1945, in Northampton, PA, to the late Walter and Mary (Laubach) Zirinsky.  Bob grew up in Catasauqua and was very active in sports early on, and played varsity football, basketball and baseball for Catasauqua High School.  He attended a postgraduate year at the New Hampton School in New Hampton, NH, where he continued playing varsity football and basketball.  Bob received a BS in Biology from Lafayette College where he was a member of the Phi Gamma Delta fraternity and also played football and baseball, and went on to obtain an MBA from Lehigh University.  
 
Bob met Geraldine (Case) Zirinsky in high school and they married in 1968.  They settled in Quakertown, PA and became parents to Michael and Jillynn. Bob soon discovered his true passion in business and founded staffing companies in the surrounding region.  Through his work, Bob frequently dedicated his time to volunteering at community groups and was very generous in his charitable endeavors.  

Along with his interest in golf, he was also heavily involved in local sports, coaching youth baseball teams and Quakertown high school football for 15+ years.  Bob and Gerry enjoyed spending time traveling and playing card games with their long-time family and friends. They also enjoyed spending time in Naples, FL, where they were able to catch up with some of Bob’s family and college friends.  
  
One of the biggest joys of Bob’s life was spending time with his family, in particular his three grandchildren Kate, Tanner and Finn. His world shortly became centered around their busy schedules: he wouldn’t miss a celebration, concert, recital, meet or game (home or away).  
  
Bob is survived by his loving wife, Gerry; son, Michael, and his wife, Kellie’, daughter Jillynn, and her husband, Howard; and his three grandchildren.
