Robert F. Kinney, 99, of Port Allegany, PA passed away Tuesday, March 5, 2024 in Coudersport Pa.

Robert arrived on Christmas Day 1924, just as the noon train passed by, born a son to Fred and Esther (Seyler) Kinney, on the Portage Road Kinney Farm, Port Allegany PA. He had four siblings; John, Orton, and James Kinney and a sister Belle (Jack) Ball.

Bob remained and worked on the family farm until the age of eighteen at which time he enlisted
in the Army and volunteered for the Ski Patrol. Following basic training at Camp Hale he left for Italy as a member of the io” Mountain Division Ski Troop. He was a very proud World War II Veteran who enjoyed sharing stories of his service years. Following the War he returned to Port Allegany and on November 20, 1948 married his sweetheart, Bernadine Thrash.

At a young age, Bob developed an interest in old automobiles that continued throughout his 99 years, including the acquisition and sale of old car parts, along with sharing his knowledge with other antique car buffs. One of his most treasured automobiles was rumored to have been originally purchased by notorious bank robber John Dillinger for his girlfriend Mary Longnecker.

His final working years before retirement were spent with the former North Penn Gas Company where he developed many long-lasting friendships.

A lover of animals he was rarely without a dog. In later years he could be found on many a summer day sitting on his front porch, with his dog, waiting for a passerby, looking forward to a visit.

Bob was a member of the AACA, Liberty Lodge # 505 Free and Accepted Masons and the Coudersport Consistory.
