PLYMOUTH---Robert “Bob” Earl Cormiea Sr., 80, of West Rumney, died on Thursday, February 15, 2024, at Speare Memorial Hospital.
Bob was born on July 12, 1943, in Hull, MA, son to the late John E. Cormiea, Sr. and Elsie (Burns) Cormiea.
At a very young age, Bob joined the US Military honorably serving in the Army from 1960-1963 and re-enlisting from 1975-1978. Bob was a “jack of all trades" with carpentry as the majority of his work. He had various jobs throughout his lifetime, including being a part of the State of New Hampshire bridge crew. In his later and most recent work, Bob was a certified auctioneer running West Rumney Auction Sales.
Bob was most passionate about his country, his family, and antiquing. He was very proud of his work on the Old Man of the Mountain. He spent most of his recent time traveling, buying, and selling antiques. Bob also enjoyed playing NH Lottery scratch tickets.
Bob is survived by his daughters, Holly (George) and Billie Joe (Dennis); his sons, Philip and Robert (Sarah); his grandchildren, Ty (Cayla), Phillip (Tamara), Isiah, Elsey, PJ (Hope), Dennis (Heather), Tony, and Brittney; his great grandchildren, Fallyn, Kieran, Caelan, and Rowan; his former wife and long-time friend, Marie; and many nieces, nephews and cousins.
