Robert P. Kudlicka

Robert Kudlicka, 79, of Youngstown, passed away Thursday afternoon, October 3, 2024, at Humility House in Austintown. He was born on May 27, 1945, in Cleveland, Ohio, a son of the late Robert and Angeline Kudlicka.

A proud veteran of the U.S. Army, Robert served in the Vietnam War. Throughout his life, he held various jobs, but his true passion was as a dance instructor. He dedicated many years to teaching for the Fred Astaire Dance Company and, more recently, offered social dancing classes at the Austintown Senior Center. It was during his time as a dance instructor that he met his significant other, Nancy Bowker, with whom he shared nearly 40 wonderful years. Robert also loved to fish.

In addition to Nancy, Robert is survived by his brother, Mark Kudlicka of Cleveland.

In honor of Robert’s wishes, there will be no services or calling hours. He will be remembered for his love of dance and the joy he brought to others.
