Robert "Bob" Engle

Robert "Bob" Engle, 77, of Cherry Hill, New Jersey, died unexpectedly on June 20, 2025.

Bob is survived by his beloved wife of 55 years, Linda (nee Escourt) Engle, as well as his loving sons David (Kelly) Engle and Jeffrey (Dina) Engle. He was the proud Pop-Pop of his favorite people in the world--grandchildren Jake, Mallory, Alex and Sophia. Bob was also a loving brother to his sister Judy Wilgard and the late Bennett Wilgard

Bob graduated from Northeast High School in 1965, which is where he met Linda at the age of 16. The high school sweethearts wed on March 15, 1970 and remained married until his passing. Bob served in the US Army Reserves during the 1960s and graduated from Temple University before running his printing business, Samuel Baker & Son, for more than five decades.

Bob loved nothing more than spending time with his beloved grandkids, watching the Eagles, working on word puzzles, and talking Philly sports with his family and many friends.
