Robert Alvin Fike

We are saddened to announce the passing of Robert Alvin Fike, a beloved father, grandfather, brother, uncle, and friend, who passed away on August 11, 2026, at the age of 79. Born on July 26, 1947, in Rochester, PA, Robert was the beloved son of the late James and Tressa Fike. Robert was a proud alumnus of Aliquippa High School, graduating with the class of 1965. Shortly thereafter, he answered the call to serve his country, enlisting in the U.S. Navy in July 1966. He served on active duty from December 1966 to November 1970 and continued to serve in the U.S. Navy Reserve until June 1979. His service to his country was a time he often looked back on with great fondness. A career spanning nearly three decades was spent at Teledyne Vasco in Monaca, where Robert's dedication and leadership were recognized during his tenure as Union President. Robert was a valued member of both the American Legion and the VFW, where he shared camaraderie and community with fellow veterans. These organizations were dear to him, as they provided him with the opportunity to continue serving his community and maintaining the bonds of brotherhood formed during his military service. He is survived by his daughters, Leanne Fike and her husband Robert Fishman, and Rosemarie Fike and her husband Brandon McLaughlin. He was the proud grandfather to Isabella and Alexandra Fishman, whom he cherished deeply. Robert is also survived by his loving sisters, Betty Carpenter and Martha Farland. In addition to his immediate family, Robert leaves behind many loving nieces and nephews, including Bobby Fike and his wife Connie, Bill Fike, Dave Fike, Danny Fike, Jimmy Fike, and Connie Halliday, who spent quality time with him in his later years. He also leaves behind best friends Beverly Fout and Stu Quinn, who supported him through many years. Robert is predeceased by his beloved parents James and Tressa Fike, his son Jonathan Fike, and his brothers James Fike and Charles Fike. The memory of their love and shared experiences remained close to his heart throughout his life. A funeral service to honor and celebrate Robert’s life will be held on August 18, 2026, at 11:00 a.m. There will be a viewing from 11:00 a.m. to 12:30 p.m., followed by a memorial service.
