Robert E. Dublin

Robert Eugene Dublin, age 97, passed away quietly at his home in Queenstown, Md. Mr. Dublin was born in Altoona, Pa., graduated from high school and then moved to Washington D.C. He joined the Marine Corp in 1941, serving for 4 years. While in the service he married Wilhelmina Pierce and together they had three daughters.

He worked for A&P Tea Company for 41 years working his way up to District Manager. Bob is survived by his longtime companion Marge Jordan, daughter Mary Anne Ritenour, Jacqueline Harper (Joe) and Patricia Gulden (Glenn). Eleven grandchildren, six great-grandchildren and three great-great-grandchildren. Predeceased by: Jacqueline O’Malley (mother), Betty Lou Talbot (sister), Russel Rowe III (grandson) and Jim Ritenour (son-in-law). 

Bob enjoyed spending his time surrounded by his friends and family. He enjoyed watching his grandchildren play sports throughout the years, where he was their number one fan. Much of his time was spent playing poker, where it wasn't always about winning for him, but the love of the game and spending time with his buddies. A friend introduced him to the DC Hand Dancing Club, where he met Marge Jordan. They danced and traveled with the club for over twenty years. Dancing not only sparked an ever-lasting companionship for the couple but introduced them to a wonderful group of people who became forever friends.

Family will receive friends Thursday, February 6, 2020 from 2pm to 4pm  and 6pm to 8pm at Beall Funeral Home; 6512 NW Crain Hwy, (Rt. 3 South) Bowie, MD 20715, where a funeral service will be held on Friday, February 7, 2020 at 10am.
