Robert L. Sponsler

November 9, 1934 — August 10, 2019

: Robert L. Sponsler, Sr., 84, passed away at his home on August 10, 2019. Robert was born on November 9, 1934 in Reedsville, WV to Hudson & Martha (Good) Sponsler.
On October 17, 1955, Robert united in marriage to the former Shirley Hamrick, who survives.
Robert spent his career working assembly for GM before his retirement.
A true outdoorsman, Robert was routinely found in his gardens, on the lake fishing and in the woods hunting. He also enjoyed woodworking, and turning unfinished chunks of trees into beautiful wooden items. His outgoing and talkative personality lent him to make friends wherever he went. However, Robert will be remembered most as a loving husband, father, grandfather and brother.
Cremation has taken place and there will be no formal services.
Besides his wife of 63 years, Robert is survived by his children: Robin (Paul) Wells, Robert Sponsler, Jr., Cynthia Smith, Martha Severt and Nick Sponsler; 9 grandchildren; 13 great-grandchildren; his brother Virgil Tate and his sister Gloria Tate as well as many other relatives. He was preceded in death by his daughter Retha Okernick, his brother Hudson Sponsler, his sisters Glarea Clary and Violet Chips, and his parents.
