Robert is survived by his best friend and beloved wife of 34 years, Kip (Portman) Feits; his two children, Matthew (Sydney) Feits and Marydeth Feits, which were the best part of his life; a brother, William F.

Robert worked as a sales representative for Rubber-Seal Medallion for over 30 years, where many of his customers became lifelong friends. He also worked in maintenance at Allegheny Technologies Inc for over 30 years and could fix just about anything. He was a member of the Craft Committee at Beaver County Career & Technology Center as well as a member at the Pine Run Sportsman’s Club and the Zelienople Sportsman’s Club.
Robert shared a love for the outdoors and was an avid hunter. He went on many hunting trips to Manitoba, Canada where his proudest trophy was a bull moose. He also loved to fish, he enjoyed trout fishing at the Zelienople Sportsman’s Club with his children, and ocean fishing at the beach where he and his family went on a chartered fishing trip every year.
He was the best husband, father, and friend that you could ever ask for. He was a hard worker, had a great sense of humor, loyal to the end, and would do anything for his loved ones. He loved his family dearly and his selfless love will never be forgotten.
