Ionia Sentinel-Standard - Fri. Aug. 8, 2008

Robert J. Slomski, of Ionia, passed away at his home in Ionia, Mich. on Aug. 6, 
2008.

He was born on Oct. 10, 1942, in Erie, Pa. the son of Charles J. Slomski, Sr. 
and Stella Zarnecki Slomski Sloan. He attended the St. John RC School and 
graduated from Erie Technical High School. He served honorably in the U.S. Navy 
on the USS Cascade and took part in the 1962 Cuban Missile Crisis. He owned the 
Erie Typewriter in the 70’s and retired from the U.S. Postal Service in Erie, 
Pa. In his free and most enjoyable time, he owned and operated a charter 
fishing service, The Yankee Charmer, in Erie and was an avid hunting, fishing 
and boating sportsman. His enthusiasm for the outdoors and the stories he 
related will be missed. Recently, Robert and Joyce enjoyed the first 
opportunity of living their dream to travel to parks throughout the United 
States. Their first visit was to the Trout Haven Resort in Deadwood, S.D. in 
the center of the Black Hills National Forest. Robert quickly became known as 
Buffalo Bob at the resort and a memorial, Buffalo Bob Tee Pee Village has been 
established in his memory at the resort.

Besides his loving wife, Joyce Slomski, he leaves his mother, Stella Sloan and 
stepfather Jim Sloan; brother, Charles J. (Beverly) Slomski, Jr. of Annapolis, 
Md. John and Dawn; grandsons Nicholas and Jack; nieces; nephews; aunts; an 
uncle and many cousins. He also leaves a loving stepfamily, Philip and Jana 
Fedon, Nicole, Jessica, Bailey, Mia and Chastity.

He was preceded in death by his father.

A private prayer service will be held at St. John Lutheran Church in Ionia on 
Friday, Aug. 8, 2008 at 11 a.m. with Pastor David Bogda, officiating. A 
Celebration of Life memorial service will be held in Erie, Pa. at a later date 
at the convenience o the family. An announcement of the memorial service will 
be made in the Erie Daily Times. In expression of the family’s deep gratitude 
gifts may be made to the Ionia Area Hospice, 601 E. Washington, Ionia, MI
