Robert “Bob” S. Kasper, 85, of Baden, peacefully passed away on January 8, 2025. He was the son of the late Walter and Frances Kasper. In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by his cherished wife of 57 years, Sheila (Farah), and brothers-in-law Mike Farah and Al Gaudino.

Bob is survived by his children, Christina (Greg) Babinsack and Robert M. Kasper; his sister Annette Palichat; grandchildren Gregory and Abigail Babinsack; sisters-in-law Dolores Gaudino and Mary Farah; and many nieces and nephews.

Bob had a long and varied career, working at Bethlehem Steel, Quigley Catholic High School, and most recently at the Manheim Auto Auction, which he loved the most.
