Robert J. Herpak, 71, died on Thursday (September 6, 2018) at Bristol Hospital. Bob was born in Pittsburgh, PA on April 19, 1947 and was one of three sons of the late Edward and Alice (Havrilla) Herpak. Raised in Homestead, PA, he graduated from Homestead High School in 1965 and was drafted into the United States Army to serve in Vietnam. After his Vietnam service, he worked for Westinghouse Electric Corp in Pittsburgh until retiring.

He was interested in classic cars and was known for his red 1967 Olds 442 which he received brand new as a gift from his grandfather. The car had gone on to other owners before he was able to find it and buy it back in the 1990’s.
