Robert S. Bevan, known to some as Bob or even Bobby drew his last breath on this earth September 17, 2019. It was a peaceful passing in his home that he built in Sarasota, FL with his adored wife of 50 years Jean Lucas Bevan. His daughter Tregea Lucas Bevan was by his side.
He was born in 1926 the son of Stanley Bevan and Blanche Tregea Bevan in the small town of Gilberton, PA.
Bob lived a long, full and very accomplished life earning an MBA from Wharton School of Finance, a Law degree from Georgetown School of Law and a Tax Law Degree from NYU. We thank him for his service as an Ensign in the United States Navy. When he retired from a long and successful legal career he was the Chief Tax Council for Texaco Inc.
After retirement he and Jean became “snow birds” splitting their time between their home in a golf community in FL and a condo on Lake Champlain in Vt, close to daughter Tregea.
He enjoyed playing golf almost daily, swimming in his pool, taking “Jeanie Beanie” out to dinner or on a cruise to somewhere exotic.
After Jean’s passing in 2002, Bob continued snow birding visiting Tregea in Vermont to have lunch or take a drive to see fall foliage. Bob continued to be active playing golf, shooting hoops at the Y and having a martini wherever he was.
From 2012 until his death, his health declined requiring round the clock care from the very loving and dedicated caregivers, Marlene Vieira, John Miller, Karla Blythe and Andree Coquillon.
Tregea and son in law Esteban moved into his house in the final years to help with his care and give him good night kisses until the end.
There will be a viewing in the Nice-Hart Funeral Home, 9 North Leigh Ave, Frackville, PA from 11am to 1 pm with a brief service at 1 pm.
Burial will be at Sky-View Memorial Park Cemetery Hometown on Route 54, 108 Lafayette Ave, Tamaqua, PA at 2 pm, where he will rest next to wife Jean and son Robert S Bevan Jr.
He is survived by daughter Tregea Bevan of E Montpelier, VT, son in law Esteban Guevara and sister Jane Bevan Jones of Frackville, PA, and many nieces and nephews, friends and extended family of caregivers that learned to love him over the years.
